Teeny tiny production, a miniscule 775 cases annually. They do a Chardonnay, a Malbec, a Cab, AND, never had this before, a Pinot Noir Ice Wine from a property up in Canada, made in Acacia barrels. Beautiful wines, balancing acidity, fruit, and complexity. A really nice job. Skip, who led us on our tour is a pro, and a showman. Playing, projected on the back wall in the dark barrel room was Casablanca. Best movie ever, he said. Funny, I said, that doesn't look like The Graduate. Anyhow the back barrel room was a wine makers dream, one single row of barrels, no giant metal racks to deal with, not stack upon stack of barrels. I think I know some guys that would've loved it!
