Ancien is the Quest of a Winemaker in pursuit of his art, and a celebration of the traditions in wine that have inspired him. In 1992, we harvested our first two tons of Pinot Noir from four rows atop a knoll in the southwest corner of Carneros. In the years since, we have continued our pursuit of those rare and special plots where Pinot Noir can rise from great to sublime. Our portfolio of vineyard designates stretches from the Santa Rita Hills, Carmel Valley, Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Coombsville and north to Oregon.
