Purpose And Philosophy
I have spent the past twenty vintages developing my winemaking skills in some of the best wineries throughout the world. Along the way, I have compiled an impressive list of critical acclaim and recognition. My winemaking resume includes Oregon, Washington, California, Italy and Australia. Today, I bring this experience to clients requiring my expertise in growing and making ultra-premium wines. I have had the pleasure of working with many different varietals including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese and Viognier to name a few. I have also made made a bit sparkling wine as well as aromatic white varieties.
I believe that the personality of wine begins in the vineyard. I particularly enjoy the challenge of discovering the "voice" of each vineyard site. It is my goal to express this unique personality in each and every wine that I make.
