Dena and Ernie both manage their Estate vineyard and Ernie will be making the 2006 vintage wines. Well known winemaker Rob Stuart made the 2003, 2004, and 2005 vintages. The dry farmed vineyard is currently 21 acres, predominately Pinot Noir. When fully planted, there will be about 45 acres under vine.

Vines are spaced 7 ½ x 4 feet, providing 1,452 vines per acre. The vineyards varietals include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Syrah and Viognier.
