  • The Santa Cruz Mountains AVA is one of California’s most distinctive winegrowing regions. Our vineyards sit at elevations ranging from 400–2,000 feet, where cool Pacific Ocean breezes and dramatic diurnal shifts create the perfect conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Thin mountain soils, fog influence, and steep exposures result in wines of intensity, structure, and elegance that reflect their sense of place.
