In our own words

What it says on the back of every bottle.

We are dedicated to growing and creating terroir driven wines; wines that express the natural splendors of the southern reaches of the Russian River Valley. In this region, seasonal warm days coupled with cool ocean breezes permeating the hills surrounding the vineyards at night allow the fruit to fully develop while maintaining unrivaled balance. It is with pleasure that we share this unique expression of Sonoma County with you.

The wines

Three wines. One hill.

The 2024 Goatman Pinot Noir label, showing the red numeral and the cast iron waterwheels.

2024 Goatman Pinot Noir

5 Wells Vineyard · Russian River Valley · Sonoma County

The smallest lot we make from the five best barrels every year. Picked on its own, kept on its own, bottled last.

2024 Russian River Pinot Noir

5 Wells Vineyard · Russian River Valley · Sonoma County

The whole hill in one glass. Red fruit up front, black tea and dried sage in the middle, and a finish that goes on and on…

The 2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir label, showing the red numeral and the cast iron waterwheels.

2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir

5 Wells Vineyard · Russian River Valley · Sonoma County

A rosé that is not an afterthought. More body than most rosés, which reflects the terroir, and it comes out dry, pale and tight rather than sweet.

How it works

Releases go to the list first.

We make a small amount of wine from a small vineyard, so there is no permanent shop shelf to point you toward. When a vintage is ready we write to the list with what there is, what it costs, and how to get it.

If you want a bottle now rather than at the next release, say so and we will tell you honestly whether there is any left.

The list

Ask about allocation.

Join the list and we will write with pricing and availability at the next release.
