We planted in 2010 and have 888 vines. Roughly 300 Merlot and 588 Cabernet Sauvignon. Initially we planted for our own consumption and may begin to sell as we accumulate several years. The wine is being made at Judd’s HIll Microcrush in the Napa area. 2012 was a field blend of our grapes and 20% purchased grapes. 2013 and 2014 were vinified separately and blended back to achieve the flavors we wanted. 2015 was a small harvest due to growing conditions and was crushed as a field blend.
