Although this winery is just over a decade old, it has developed an excellent reputation.

Okay, we can say a lot of mushy things about awards and ratings, but let's cut to the chase.  Their Pinot Noir is fabulous.  Their other wines are great and actually win more awards but the Pinot has us hooked.  We discovered it at the Stearns Wharf Tasting Room.  This made us track this winery to its source! If you can find this wine, try it!  

Of the 4,200 cases produced annually, you will find Chardonnay, unfiltered Pinot Noir, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Pinot Blanc and soon to be released, Port.

Directions:
Take the 101 to Los Alamos (Route 135) and turn east. It's in the center of Historic Los Alamos.
