Passion for their craft turns winemakers into artists. And it's their artistic expression that transforms grape juice into gold, silver and bronze medals at wine competitions across the country. Winning a gold medal doesn't always mean a wine is a classic, but winning a number of medals and accolades in prestigious wine publications means something's up ... in Mendocino County.

Fermenting in small lots intensifies fruit flavors. Leaving many of our red wines unfiltered and unfined ensures that they retain all their full, rich character. Practices, like punching down the cap by hand or using whole-berry fermentation for reds and whole-cluster pressing in white wines, also contribute to the flavor nuances that constitute Brutocao quality.

These time-honored, less-invasive methods produce a more complex and memorable wine.

It isn't luck anymore, it is artistic passion.
