In 2003, Anthony Filberti, David Low and Webster Marquez all met one another while working at Williams Selyem, the famed Sonoma winery best known for their world-class Pinot Noir. They said that watching one another scurrying to get everything done in the winery reminded them of worker ants, a name that stuck when the trio teamed up the following year to start their own small lot, biodynamic project. Five years after their inaugural vintage, the three worker ants received Food & Wine Magazine’s ‘Most Promising Winery’. A year later, the Wall Street Journal labeled them as “The Rock Stars of Pinot Noir.”
All of this while the three guys were all in their 20’s and still all with full-time jobs at other wineries.
Now, sixteen years later, what started as an eight-barrel/year production has grown to 72 barrels or 1800 cases/year. The three say it’s not likely to get much bigger from here. They continue to work for other wineries and yet maintain this growing passion project together. Although they’ve grown nine times in size, there’s still a small winery approach, but their pricing– which is still a bargain, is a far cry from it’s $20 AVA specific, $30 single-vineyard wine days. Now, those prices are more in the $40-$60 range, with buyers across the country scooping up every bottle the winery puts out.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
