The Wineries
Mountain View
From its inception in 1978, Mountain View has produced wines of superior quality. âMom &
P
opâ vineyards are chosen from various regions throughout California that offer strong varietal character
. E
xceptional weather/climate/soil condition
s set the stage for our terroir driven
Amador County Zinfandel and Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley.
Ty Caton
20 years ago Ty Caton partnered with his parents to develop a 108 acre property in the renowned Mayacamas Mountain Range. Located adjacent to some world class vineyards and with an array of various soils, elevations, and sun exposures, it is a prime location for grape growing and now has its own prestigious appellation ~ Moon Mountain District.
Only 40 acres of this certified sustainably farmed vineyard are planted to grapes.
Ty learned to make wine from his friends, neighbors and
practice
. He strives for excellence and is a
n exceptional
blender.
Fitch Mountain
Fitch Mountain Cellars started with 1 barrel made in a garage by Mike Duffy, a UC Davis Grad, Trefethen intern, and personal friend of wine guru Andre Tchelistcheff in 1984. Still handcrafted, our Merlot comes from a tiny, 4
th
generation vineyard in Dry Creek. Reminiscent of the breakout style in the â80âs, this velvety wine has layers of complexity.
