To create these exceptional wines, we put ourselves in the grape’s place.
Each varietal has its sweet spot, a special balance of geography, geology and climate where it finds full expression. So we sought the California mecca for each: the uniquely situated Mendocino Ridge for our Zinfandel, the famed Rutherford Bench region for our Cabernet Sauvignon, the Russian River Valley for our Chardonnay, the northern end of the Santa
Maria Valley for our Pinot Noir, and the west side of Paso Robles for our Red Blend. Then we get even more selective, hand-picking only the finest grapes and nurturing them into uncommonly good wines. We know how rare it is to find the perfect elements for winemaking. That’s why we call it Sanctuary.
