Situated 40 miles south of San Francisco between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, Cinnabar overlooks Silicon Valley from the east rim of the Santa Cruz Mountains at 1,650 feet. Mild temperatures and clay-loam soils contribute deep fruit and earthy components to wines that express a unique sense of place.

Cinnabar produces Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as Paso Robles Merlot, Monterey Chardonnay and Mercury Rising, a Bordeaux-style blend.

Vine Buds: How They Affect Wine Quantity and Quality

To the casual observer, grape vines seem to suddenly sprout up in the spring, produce grape clusters in the fall, and go dormant in the winter. While this is broadly true, the actual growth cycle of a vine is a continuum that endures each and every day for life. In particular, the business of vine buds is often overlooked, but it is as important to grape vines as caterpillars are to butterflies.
