Harvest has commenced! 🍇

For those who have been following us over the years, you know this is an especially early start. A warm spring accelerated ripening throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, putting us nearly a month ahead of what we've seen in recent decades.

Here are a few snapshots from the vineyard:

🍇 Estate Grenache — Veraison is well underway, and the clusters are happy, healthy, and coloring up beautifully.

🍷 Mt. Eden Estate Pinot Noir is nearly ready to come in. Tiny berries and tight clusters are setting the stage for beautifully concentrated w**es, and we expect to begin harvesting this block as early as next week.

🍇 Rattlesnake Rock Syrah is just entering veraison, with loose, airy clusters that are looking fantastic this season.

🌿 Estate Chenin Blanc is looking beautiful and is shaping up to be our strongest block in terms of yield per acre.

The 2026 vintage is off to an exciting start, and we can't wait to share the journey with you.

Join us for First Friday on August 7th from 5–9 PM! We'll be featuring the bold, abstract artwork of Jack Mento. Currently, we have the beautiful work of Michelle Nicely on display in our tasting room.

Michelle's artwork is available to view and purchase, so it's the perfect opportunity to discover a new favorite piece while enjoying a glass of w**e. Come check it out!

Bring your friends, sip, stroll, and celebrate a wonderful evening of local art and great w**e. Cheers! 🥂🖼️ 🌀

Last weekend, we were honored to pour our w**es at the Midsummer Night's Dinner at Beauregard Ranch. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to the Santa Cruz Mountains W**egrowers Association for bringing our w**e community together once again, and to Ryan Beauregard for graciously hosting us on such a beautiful property.

A special shout out to Chef Brad Briske and his talented team. Every course was absolutely delicious!

We are grateful for evenings like these, where great w**e, amazing food, and wonderful people come together. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to say hello, shared a glass, and spent time with us. We loved connecting with you all!

Until next time. Cheers!🥂 **e **e **e **eCommunity **e
