The estate vineyard has a storied history. Originally planted in the 1890’s, then to pears and walnuts during prohibition, then again to grapes in 1972, wine was produced for Frog’s Leap beginning in 1987 and then for Tres Sabores from 1999 through today. The adventure into truly “uncharted” territory began in 2014 when, almost (not quite, but almost) on a whim, Jon sourced over half of California’s St Laurent production from Dale Ricci’s vineyards in the Carneros and the magic began. Soon, the serendipity factor really kicked in! A chance meeting with Beckham Vineyards owner and ceramic artist, Andrew Beckham, led to the purchase of...

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? At the moment, Petit Verdot, a Bordelaise grape often referred to a “blender”. However a single varietal offering changed such a notion as the variety offers great color, medium-weight, and overall complexity. Grown in California, this variety ripens towards the end of the season yet even still has great freshness and is jam-packed with broad layers of fruit tones. The variety produces a very food-friendly and engaging style of red wine with enough uniqueness that it sets itself apart from more homogenized, market-popular varieties.

With a focus on the crafting of small lots, Vigo Cellars utilizes new world winemaking techniques as well as time honored, old-world methods to express each vineyard’s terroir, while highlighting the varietal’s characteristics. Named “Vigo” as a tribute to the Rodrigues family heritage, the brand embodies the spirit of adventure.  With a journey that began in the Galicia region of northwest Spain, and included travels to Argentina, the Hawaiian Islands, and San Francisco, California, the Rodrigues family settled in the San Joaquin Valley in the late-1930’s, farming vineyards and almonds.  Three generations later, we are continuing this quest with Vigo Cellars – artisan crafted wines...
