Winemaking is a craft that beautifully balances art and science. We aim to create something truly unique from an array of premier West Coast vineyards, utilizing a minimal-intervention approach to let the fruit speak for itself. It is this dedicated process and our meticulous attention to detail that define our quality.
A well-made wine will seamlessly balance fruit, acidity, oak nuances, alcohol and tannins. A great wine, however, will take all of that and then elevate the outcome by introducing additional characteristics to the mix–that unique complexity and those rich layers of intriguing flavors. We approach our process with the intention of crafting wines that incorporate all of these qualities. We are able to take our wines to this higher level because of something that we realized early on–paying attention to every detail in the vineyards that we partner with yields special nuances in the grapes that will become our wine.
Our hands-on approach and attention to the smallest of details–from vineyard partnerships, to barrel selection, through the bottling process results in a distinctly improved experience for those who partake of our wines. We wouldn’t have it any other way. It is our hope that you will find the soul and a sense of place in our Three Hammers wines, and that you will come to know us as crafters of wines with balance, complexity, and character. We want to keep you intrigued glass after glass, bottle after bottle, memory after memory.
