Our Winemaking
Winemaking at a Glance
Established by Tom Mudd in 1981, Cinnabar Winery produces award-winning wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains, California’s Central Coast, and other distinguished growing regions. Grapes are harvested in the cool of morning and rushed to nearby cellars for fermentation and aging by Winemaker George Troquato in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels.
