BACKGROUND:
Mission, our signature grape, was brought to the New World by the conquistadores. The oldest grape in California, it has been mistreated and neglected for over a century. Today it’s a very rare grape, almost fully replaced by more fashionable varieties. But there would be no wine in California had it not paved the way for all the others, so I’m eternally grateful I get to be part of its new dawn. I’m obsessed with this variety and hopefully you’ll agree it makes a great wine.

STYLE:
2025 was an almost perfect growing year and I’m so excited to have this wine back after a few years of missed vintages. This wonderful expression is very similar to the stellar 2019 vintage - light and aromatic, yet still with enough length and complexity to last a long time.

VINEYARD:
Somers Vineyard was believed to have some of the oldest Mission vines in the US, because of how big they are, many being well over 8ft tall. Nobody knows exactly how old they are as no record of the vineyard’s origins exist, but our latest research suggest they’re from the late 60’s or early 70’s. That makes them at least 50+ years old and a true historic vineyard. They grow right next to the river in the Mokelumne River AVA, Lodi, California and are mostly dry farmed, since their roots reach deep.
