Our Focus:  The Frostwatch Vineyard is set on a rocky apron at the base of Bennett Peak.  We have farmed this property since it was established in the mid-90s and hold the belief that Bennett Valley is an exceptional source of ultra premium Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Pinot Noir.  We use Frostwatch fruit for our family owned winery but we also sell fruit to other wineries.  Samples of all varieties available.
