Sonoma County
Since 1972, we have produced Fumé Blanc — a wine at the heart and soul of our family winery. Modeled after the classic wines from the Loire Valley in France, our stainless steel fermented Fumé Blanc is crisp, balanced and immediately drinkable. Winery Founder David Stare was the first person to plant the Sauvignon Blanc varietal in our home appellation, against the advice of many viticultural experts. Over 50 years later, his daughter Kim and her husband Don are proud to carry on his legacy producing this classic, dry white wine.
For more than 50 years, Fumé Blanc has been at the heart of our story. Inspired by the Loire Valley’s crisp, aromatic whites, Founder David Stare brought this refreshing style of Sauvignon Blanc balance and craftsmanship.to Sonoma County in 1972 — and we’ve been perfecting it ever since. Sustainably farmed, vegan and now bottled in lighter, eco-friendly glass, it’s our enduring expression of purity, balance and craftsmanship.
Every grape has a home. Every grape is grown on one of our estate vineyards or by one of
our local, longtime growing partners. A combination of Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley fruit for a dynamic blend of cooler and warmer climate vineyards.
We don’t add junk. Our Fumé Blanc is made with minimal intervention, and without any animal-based fining agents or products containing gluten. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for us, it’s our way of life and has been for decades.
We are true to ourselves. We continue an over-50-year tradition of dry, crisp, balanced Fumé Blanc, modeled after the classic wines of the Loire Valley. Our hallmark stainless steel fermented Fumé Blanc with no oak aging is refreshing, vibrant and pure.
