Santa Ynez Valley · Est. 1979

Wine that
remembers the hillside.

Rhône and Bordeaux varietals, dry-farmed where we can, grown on a limestone bench that catches the morning fog and the last of the afternoon sun.

Our place

Forty-two hectares,
one long conversation
with the land.

Three generations of the Firestone family have worked this bench above the Santa Ynez River. We farm by block, not by acre — each parcel picked on its own morning, fermented on its own terms, and kept separate in the cellar until the wine tells us where it belongs.

The result is a small portfolio of honest, place-driven wines: savory reds with real structure, taut whites built on limestone, and a rosé we make on purpose every June.

“We don’t make the wine. The bench does. We just keep out of the way.”

— Della Firestone, winemaker
