— A filament is any one connecting thread in a larger tapestry of things —

It could be found among the roots and living soil of a conscientiously grown vineyard tied together in symbiosis with its environment. It could be a couple of California boys supporting growers they believe in and highlighting special places. It could be you discovering unique expressions of grapes grown in unique places. If a wine is bottled sunshine let us be the filament that lets that sun shine.

We’re confident that the sites we have selected are special and we think our job is to bring those sites to your taste buds. As such we’re not aiming for some “house style” that you can rely on to make all our wines taste alike— where’s the fun in that? We feel nature does the heavy lifting and we do our best not to get in the way. Our approach is “less is more”. We pick the fruit with an aim towards limiting additions. We rely on native yeasts to ferment. We raise up the wines in large neutral oak puncheons to create a complete wine that has been educated without being turned into a snob. Wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Small amounts of SO2 are used to prevent spoilage.
