Texas Hill Country
Our estate vineyard sits on the Pedernales riverbed in Hye — limestone, nitrogen-rich, and planted to Tannat in 2012. Forty miles north at Uplift, decomposed granite over sandy loam gives us something else entirely.
The Hill Country AVA is enormous and it is not one place. When a bottle says Texas Hill Country, our fruit almost always comes from one specific corner of it — the Pedernales River Basin, the Hickory Sands, or the Llano Uplift. We can’t legally put those on a label yet. We’re working on it.
Texas High Plains
Elevation is the whole story out here — 3,300 to 3,700 feet of wind-blown clayey and sandy loam soils over caliche crust, with nights cool enough to preserve freshness in grapes born in a Texas summer.
Some of the oldest vines in the state are here. Boxing Rabbit went in the ground in 1975. Newsom in 1986. And in the same year at Hunter Family Vineyard, Bill Blackmon planted the Cabernet Sauvignon — forty years later, in 2026, it became ours to farm.
Around 2006, Chris told High Plains-based cotton grower Andy Timmons he ought to try planting Mourvèdre. It was the first of that variety planted in the Texas High Plains — today it’s one of the most planted in Texas. That’s what a strong producer-grower relationship can do.
Dell Valley
An eight-hour drive westward from Hye, at the foot of Guadalupe Peak — the highest point in Texas — there is an ancient coral reef with grapevines growing on it. Some were planted as far back as 1987.
At 3,750 feet in the Chihuahuan desert, pale caliche and river rock soils give the fruit a mineral drive we don’t get anywhere else in the state. Rae Wilson calls it “truly unique.” She’s right, and it’s the reason we keep driving out there.
Dell Valley isn’t a formally recognized viticultural region for Texas yet. The petition is in. We think it’s about time.

Grown together, season after season
We’re out in the rows with the families who farm for us, deciding together what’s ready and what isn’t. Some years a block makes the cut and some years it doesn’t.
That’s what taking fruit quality seriously actually looks like — and it only works because there’s enough trust on both sides to have the honest conversation, season after season.
