Our Story

Bloodlines

Long before there was a bottle to fill, there was a bloodline to protect. The Friesians and Gypsy Vanners of this ranch were never bred for show — they were bred for constitution, for a steadiness that no amount of training can fake.

When the first vines went into this same Alta Mesa soil in 2014, we asked the land for the same thing we had always asked of the horses: not spectacle, but substance that would still be standing in twenty years.

The Wines

A small edit, deliberately kept small.

Our Barbera is the estate's signature — the wine the ranch was always going to make. Around it, a short list of companions, each produced in quantities too small to call a "line."

The estate's signature — structured, dark-fruited, built to hold its posture for years.

Boxed By Hand

Marked only with the horse.

Every bottle leaves the estate the same way it left the barrel — no promotional insert, no clutter. Just the bottle, the straw, and the crest burned into the lid.
