Since 1989 our family owned and operated winery has produced wines of superior quality and value.

Wine Critic Reviews

"Pretty citrus, melon, honeysuckle, and floral notes emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County, a pretty, medium-bodied, lively and impeccably made Chardonnay with tons of character." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "...a fine introduction to the range. Orange peel, mint, spice and light tropical accents add an exotic flair to this mid-weight Chardonnay. The 2022 is very easy to taste and enjoy. Best of all, it is a fine value." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
