We are a small family-owned winery in Sonoma County specializing in mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The Watkins Family has been handcrafting boutique wines in Sonoma County since 1979, beginning as farmers and garagistes. For many years we have enjoyed growing grapes in the beautiful countryside of Sonoma County, making only two barrels of wine each vintage. This tiny production of wine was just enough to share with friends and family.

The Watkins Family is committed to crafting limited production wines from the concentrated fruit of hillside vineyards. We believe that vineyard location, soil composition, climate and slope are key factors in creating wines of extraordinary quality and distinction. All of our wines are rich and intensely flavored, reflecting both their origin in the vineyard, and the balance and elegance of small lot winemaking.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
