ANCIEN WINES
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. Producing but five barrels, thismarked the beginning of Ancien Wines. In the years since, we have continued our pursuit of those rare and special plots where Pinot Noir can rise from great to sublime.
