Our Story
Grown from the Same Ground for Generations
We purchased the Cressida Vineyard from Francis Mahoney in 2022. It is planted along the spine of a ridgetop in the upper section of Los Carneros, overlooking the Bay, with the San Francisco skyline clearly visible across the water.
It receives the perfect balance of warm sun and cooling winds that come straight off the Pacific and through the Golden Gate.
The soils are shale from an ancient inland sea, which lend a distinct minerality to the wines. Raptors hover overhead, riding the winds as the Bay breezes meet the Cressida hillside.
Our Philosophy
Farmed with Patience. Made with Restraint.
Regenerative Farming
We build soil health rather than deplete it, using cover crops, compost, and minimal tillage so the ridgetop can keep producing for generations to come.
Land Stewardship
The hillside is shared with the raptors and grasses that were here before the vines, and we farm in a way that keeps it that way.
Maintain Balance
Warm sun and cooling Bay winds already do most of the work. We farm with a light hand, stepping in only where the land truly needs us to.
