A small winery in Petaluma dedicated to making uniquely Californian wine for your table. Michael Cruse was born and raised in Northern California and prides himself on producing wines that are unabashedly Californian and inherently delicious.

This Syrah is from Charles Heintz vineyard in Occidental, a cool site at the extremes of ripening Syrah in western Sonoma county. The 2021 vintage created an environment for lower alcohol and lighter tannins. The nose is floral and olive-toned, with hints of smoked meat, while the palate is blueberry and wet stone. This wine appreciates a chill and a hamburger.
