Erik Ayala
Winemaker, 1467 Cellars
| |
Erik Ayala grew up riding horseback through the Cabernet vineyards in Napa County with his grandfather, Juan Roldan. After spending his first harvest in 2006 hand-picking and fermenting wine as a family project, he knew he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Erik has honed his winemaking skills at Far Niente and Pride Mountain Vineyards and recently launched 1467 Cellars with the Roldan family. Here's his story. | | |
