The Vineyard

The vineyard is going through bud break, that means spring is here. We just got done with pruning in the nick of time. We have mowed the weeds and chopped up the old canes, the next step will be to disc all the weeds under.

We're hoping the stay at home order will pass, and the vines hold out untill the first of May. If all of that happens, we can host our adopt a row and give everybody a lovely walk in the vineyard.

The Wines

Our estate vineyard was planted in 1999 with Clone 8 Cabernet Sauvignon on freedom rootstock. Our soil is sandy loam for thirty feet down which gives the vineyard great drainage so we can adjust the amount of water to the vines. We thin the canes in the spring to only grow two canes per spur with an average of 4 tons per acre at harvest.

About Us

What does a Spanish dancer have to do with a winery that has a French name? Absolutely nothing and everything. It was one of the first artworks Dave did about the same time he and Helen started making wine at home.

Featured Wines

2018 Petite Sirah

With 'petite' referring only to the size of the grape, this wine possesses huge flavor and color intensity. From the heart of Lodi, in the fine sandy soils of the Mokelumne River sub-AVA, this wine exemplifies the true varietal character of Petite Sirah with its depth of color and highly distinctive flavor, while subtly boasting a graceful tannic structure.

2018 Barbera

A grape of Italian origin, Barbera is best known for its high levels of natural acidity coupled with a propensity to ripen relatively late. These innate varietal characteristics sing in perfect harmony with Lodi's long hot summers by allowing the grapes ample time on the vine. When fully ripened, sugar levels exceed the acids resulting in a perfectly well-balanced wine, eagerly enticing the palate for another sip.

2018 Final Cut

Each year's wines possess their own unique character and flavors that develop in a long series of "acts" directed by none other than the winemaker himself. It is in this final blend of the year that 12 barrels of various supporting actors come together in a beautiful embodiment of synergy; this wine is a creation in which the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
