Fantastic micro-production winery - enjoyed every wine we tried during our visit. Small, relaxed tasting room with fun and comfy couches.
Jay was an incredibly friendly and knowledgable host - we really enjoyed talking with him about the wines and history of the winery.
As for the wines: elegant, poised Pinot Noirs, 2016 Sonoma Coast and 2014 Starkey Hill were two standouts, and really delicious rich and fragrant, but balanced Diamond Mountain cabs.
Pricing is on the higher end, arguably a little too high for their library cabs, but dedication and quality in winemaking process shines through the wines.
Highly recommend - En Garde are receiving some fantastic coverage/ratings in wine press right now so visit while the wine is still...

Csaba (the winemaker) curates an incredible lineup of exclusive wines you can’t find anywhere else, real craftsmanship. The location is near several highly rated, high-end restaurants that are still under the radar and not overly crowded. It’s the perfect place to enjoy exceptional wine that has high 90s ratings across the board. Low production, diamond in the rough. Pinots to blends to cabs are all exceptional, we tried them all. Always a fun white to keep it...
