The mission statement for my wines is to source exceptional fruit from exceptional vineyards that displays true varietal character and quality that would make world class examples of their respective styles. I have set the highest standard for my fruit and I have an equally high standard for my winemaking. And really, when it comes down to it, my winemaking philosophy is quite simple. Most of what ends up in the bottle should come from the fruit itself and I believe that the winemaking should only enhance and preserve those natural qualities so that the wine speaks of the fruit and the place where that fruit was grown.
