Our story
My family has lived on and worked the same land in Monterey County, California for almost 120 years. I grew up on this ranch; it is my home.
When my husband and I took over, the vision was for our family to work this land for another 100 years. We decided to grow our own grapes and craft wines to give customers our best expression of Monterey Chardonnay that would be the equal or better than Chardonnays from other highly regarded areas of the world.
Please, always drink responsibly.
Carol Wood Morrison, Proprietor.
A better Chardonnay? Yes, really!

Our practices reduce our carbon footprint, conserve water, protect wildlife co-tenants, and include regenerative farming techniques such as minimal tillage, planting permanent cover crops between the vines, adding compost only as needed, and using natural predators to control various pests. And we don't use glyphosate.
We agree that great wine is made in the vineyard. We only harvest when our grapes are optimal for winemaking, allowing us to highlight their flavors naturally rather than through chemical manipulation in the winery.
