Since 2013 we have used an assortment of cooperages to extract different flavors, aromas and structural components in our wines. Each has had a different use and purpose depending on the vintage, varietal and ensuing characteristics in each wine.

Each lot that receives a new oak barrel is carefully chosen so that it can receive the most benefit while it is aging for years to come. Even if a barrel is being reused for a future vintage, and is neutral in character, we diligently evaluate each lot that might best fit.

Over the course of the years we have had the pleasure of working with the following cooperages to enhance our wine and build consistency within our program.
