An Introduction to Our Wines

Winemaker George Troquato combines small, intensely flavored grapes with meddle-free winemaking to produce three lines of complex, well-balanced wines.

Expressing a unique sense of place, our Family of Santa Cruz Mountains Wines includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Grapes are grown on our Santa Cruz Mountains estate and neighboring vineyards that also benefit from a warm, Mediterranean climate and lean mountain soils. Following harvest, fruit is rushed to the winery where it receives gentle handling with state-of-the-art equipment. Wines are fermented in small lots, cave aged in the finest French oak barrels, and finally bottled in exquisite packaging.


Our Central Coast Wines (Paso Robles Merlot, Monterey Chardonnay and the Bordeaux-style blends Mercury Rising and Mercury Rising Blanc) start with fruit from some of California’s most sought after vineyards. Like our vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, they enjoy warm days and cool nights, have great soils, and are farmed by growers committed to producing the finest grapes in the land. Wines are carefully fermented and aged in select oak barrels. Each is characterized by the fresh off-the-vine qualities offered by the grapes on the day they were picked.

Located in the quaint Saratoga Village, our Tasting Room offers a collection of limited-production exclusives including Santa Cruz Mountains Late Harvest Chardonnay, Paso Robles Marsanne, Paso Robles Valdiguié, Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and more.
