Read More“We work with Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Grenache Blanc and Viognier. We have plans to also work with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay and perhaps Pinot Noir in the future. Our winemaker is especially passionate about Syrah for its dark fruit flavor, peppery finish and gorgeous full body.”
– Anita Kothari
Read More“I specialize in Petite Sirah and blends using that grape. It’s just so versatile based on location, farming practice and winemaking style. I also use Syrah, Grenache, Tannat and Petit Verdot in my red blends, and sometimes as single varietal bottlings, depends on the vintage. I make a Viognier as well with grapes from the Caliza Vineyard.”
– Matt Villard
