Winemaker Notes
The 2020 vintage saw a moderate growing season with a few heat spikes and low rainfall throughout the season. This yielded an excellent harvest. The fruit was sourced from prime California vineyards, then crafted with quality and care.
Interesting Facts
Joseph Thomas Kreps (February 27, 1925 – December 30, 1999) was our patriarch who lived in service to our family and country. He believed one of life’s greatest blessings is family and our brand is a tribute to him. The coat of arms emblazoned on the label incorporates elements from the four crests that make up Joe’s family tree; Finnegan, Kreps, Rodgers, and Christensen. These key symbols speak to Joseph Thomas’ family legacy.
