We conceived and produced over 5,000 cases of premium wines annually for vintage years 2005 through 2009 and garnered superb results along with numerous accolades. The Cabernet Sauvignon received annual scores over 93 points by leading wine magazines. The Chardonnay was considered exceptional, and the Sauvignon Blanc was regarded among the best produced in California by Wine Enthusiast magazine.

It was necessary to assemble a highly regarded wine-making team in order to distinguish this product from over 500 competitive wineries in Napa Valley. The vineyard at the proposed Terrano Resort site was not sufficient, and so we sourced additional grapes from vineyards throughout Napa Valley and negotiated grape purchase contracts from several adjacent and well known vineyards.

ROI

We successfully repaid all costs and used the small production vineyard to enhance the marketing perceptions of the proposed resort.
