Honoring the Grapes
Single Origin Wines
Founder and winemaker Scott Lindstrom-Dake honors each grower by crafting single vineyard, single varietal expressions of each individual vineyard the grapes come from.
Think of each varietal as a ‘snapshot’ from each vineyard and vintage, telling a story about that special place and time.
