I am always looking for inspiring sites that are ‘the reason for being’. After all, one small Pinot Noir vineyard started this all. 

 

In this release you will find two new wines:

Peugh Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Upton Vineyard Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc 

 

Reason for being//Raison d'être//Ikigai

In the rhythm of each grape growing season, hopes unfurl like the tender leaves of budbreak, carrying with them a message of renewal and promise for the upcoming vintage. 

 

This evolution is a symphony of whispers from the cosmos that breathe life into our spirits, guiding us towards our purpose and driving our creative endeavors. 

 

The vineyards we cultivate are truly unique, embodying the intricate threads of place, devotion, and meaning that define our raison d'etre, 

reason for being.

 

For us, winemaking is a devotion to what we love, an effort toward mastery and accomplishment, and a never-ending journey that also brings a sense of fulfillment. Our ikigai, reason for being. 

 

We feel proud to share with you the dedication to what we love that we see in every facet of the winemaking process – a harmonious blend of nature and humanity.
