Growing up in the Carmel Valley, winemaker Bret Hogan developed an immense love for the landscapes of California at an early age. His early training in wine was as "Cali" as it gets: after a Masters in Enology from UC Davis, his first cellar gig was at the renowned Stag's Leap Cellars in the Napa Valley. Bret then hopped from one icon to another, landing at the legendary Domaine des Comtes Lafon in Meursault, where he shaped his perspective and approach towards winemaking: a focus on fruit sourced from unique parcel sites, carefully tended with organic and biodynamic practices, vinified with native yeasts, slow fermentations, and long élévages that allow the wines to express the complexity and nuance of each terroir.
