What they say
Words of Inspiration, from Grape to Glass
What you can push the fruit to do depends on how you farm it. When you understand that, there's greater respect for what it takes to make a bottle of wine. It takes a lot.
We want to be at the right price point and make top-quality wine that reflects of whom we are and what we’re all about. I try to make wines that I want to drink on a daily basis.
To go for high quality and low yield here takes a leap of faith, because what happens if you produce low tonnage and people will still pay you only half of what they pay for Napa fruit?
There are some great wines being made in Napa. You may find some that don't inspire you, but technically you'd have a hard time finding wines here with basic flaws.
Starting as a harvest intern and leaving as their cellar master was an incredible education — it was my winemaking school, to learn on-hand with a producer like Harlan.
We're an estate winery, so we have to stick with what we do best here. I believe that if you're making a great product, you'll find your market, regardless of what you're growing.
