About Our Vineyards

The Winery Ranch is where it all began. The winery’s founders, the Bernsteins, made their home in an old Civil War-era cabin built on the original Winery Ranch where the pioneering couple planted their first vines. Today, the Winery Ranch is being re-terraced and given new life with high-density plantings of the finest Bordeaux clones, carefully selected for this ruggedly challenging environment.

Awards & Accolades

Wine Spectator
#58 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2020. Distinctive, with blueberry and açaí berry fruit flavors, infused liberally with sassafras, bay leaf and sweet spice notes. A beautiful rendition of mountain fruit, laced with racy acidity and carried by smoldering tannins. Shows impressive detail and energy for a 2017. Best from 2021 through 2035.
