Bonny Doon
Located in Santa Cruz, California, the essence of Bonny Doon is discovery, a voyage into areas which may have been beyond our previous realm of experience. This is not to suggest that everything they do is new or cutting edge. Indeed much of what they do takes its inspiration from practices employed in simpler, less industrial times.
Since early 2004 they have practiced strict adherence to Biodynamic viticultural practices. These practices give them the best opportunity to produce the most distinctive and interesting--in a word, the best--wines possible.

Blackbird Vineyards
Perched to seize the day as Oak Knoll's foremost Merlot is Blackbird Vineyards, located in the heart of the district. Since 1999, this former walnut orchard, first planted with 5717 vines two years earlier, has quietly provided fruit to many of Napa's finest winemakers, for whom it has yielded astonishing reviews and stellar scorings. Purchased by entrepreneur Michael Polenske in 2003, Blackbird Vineyards is now an ultra premium label in its own right. (Fittingly, 'Merlot' is French patois for 'Little Blackbird.')
