Greg and Marilyn Nitz launched Carrefour Vineyards in 1997 with the purchase of estate land in Napa Valley. Currently Carrefour Vineyards produces wines from several estate grown varietals, including Sauvignon Blanc. Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that affects many wine grapes and causes them to shrivel into moldy raisins. The fungus responds to the humidity and warmth in the climate and attacks the grapes. As the mold penetrates the skin its spores begin to germinate, causing the water inside to evaporate and the grape to dehydrate. With the absence of water, the sugar becomes more concentrated and the botrytis begins to alter the acidity within the grape.

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Their Sauvignon Blancs have been awarded 90 points by the Wine Spectator, and the 2005 vintage is the most focused and lush one yet. On the palate, flavors of ripe apricot, peach and nectarines marry, producing an intense flavor and rich mouth feel.

Greg and Marilyn Nitz launched Carrefour Vineyards in 1997 with the purchase of estate land in Napa Valley. Currently Carrefour Vineyards produces wines from several estate grown varietals, including Sauvignon Blanc. Being Pinot Noir lovers, they needed to purchase grapes since their micro-climate are too warm to grow Pinot Noir. The new release Pinot Noir 2003 is from grapes purchased from the renowned Truchard Vineyards in the Carneros region. In 2000, they planted Sauvignon Blanc and Petite Verdot.

The 2004 Carneros Pinot Noir is a blend from two different vineyard sites. 50% of the fruit comes from East block which was planted in 1997 to several clones including Dijon, Swan and Pommard. The other half comes from old Martini clone which was planted in 1985. The wine is a medium ruby color with strawberry, raspberry and cherry pie flavors. Spicy, toasty and earthy aromas with structured tannins give way to a silky finish.

Located on the western slopes of the Mayacama Mountains, the Caton Vineyard is a rugged setting ideally situated to grow some of the premier grapes in Sonoma Valley. The Caton Vineyard is made up of layers of volcanic soil with rocks that lie just below the surface, creating resistance for the vines as their roots search for nutrients in the soil. This stresses the vines, which creates smaller grapes with thicker skins and more concentrated flavors, essential to producing the beautifully expressive and extracted wines of Ty Caton Vineyards. The Caton Vineyard is certified sustainable and we are committed to our stewardship of the land.

Ty Caton personally manages the entire winemaking process, from planting the vines, to farming the grapes, to making the wine here in Sonoma Valley. By using exclusively estate grown grapes he is able to have complete control over the process and personally tend to the wine from soil to glass. His acute awareness of the land enables him to make wines that show the great potential of the vineyard site.

While digging a well on his family’s property for his soon-to-be-planted vineyards outside Sonoma, Ty Caton came across some artifacts that did not appear to be Native Indian in nature. Upon further investigation, the items were discovered to date back to the Roman era and were carbon-dated to the 60’s B.C. A major archeological dig was soon underway and the ruins of a small Roman temple were unearthed. After exhaustive research, it was determined that the temple belonged to a long lost and little-known Roman god named Racchus, Bacchus’ twin brother by another mother.

The Galante Family has a long history on the Monterey coast - owner Jack Galante's great grandfather, J.F. Devendorf, was the founder of the town of Carmel. In 1969, Jack's parents purchased a 700-acre cattle ranch in rustic Carmel Valley. While still maintaining a working cattle ranch, the Galantes, in 1983, began growing premium grapes on their property. In 1994, Jack Galante decided to build a winery and use some of his grapes to produce ultra-premium estate bottled wines. Today Galante is recognized as one of the premier Cabernet Sauvignon producers in Monterey County, and all of California.
