Our Winemakers

          Our winemakers are Massimo and Mario Monticelli, both California natives and fourth generation winemakers. They are graduates of UC Davis in Enology and Viticulture. Massimo's background making Cabernet for Silver Oak brings both a passion for the grape, and a hands-on knowledge producing some of the most in-demand Cabernet made in the state. Mario's experience working with Phillipe Melke creating a number of the best boutique wines in California, including Vineyard 29, Constant, Caldwell, et al, brings both classic Bordeaux sensibility and an artisan feel to our wines.
