About Our Wines

Eagle Eye wines are made by hand to have soft tannins so they may be enjoyed young. This approach makes a balanced wine that has complexity and structure which also allows the wine to age beautifully.

We believe that 85% of great wine is made in the vineyard. In other words, you can only make great wine by starting with great fruit which is why Bill spends so much time in the vineyard making sure that each plant receives what it needs to produce great fruit.

All of our Eagle Eye wines are picked by hand, are hand made in small lots and aged in the best French oak barrels.

Our cabernet Franc Rose', Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are made from 100% fruit from our AlphaWOLF Ranch. we also use the same fruit for our Voluptuous and Infatuation blends with a small addition of Merlot, Syran and or Zinfandel to round out the blends.

We achieve our fruit forward style by allowing the grapes to hang longer on the vines to achieve maximum flavor development. Eagle Eye wines are a great example of balance. Balance allows our wines to go with a larger variety of foods and creates great food and wine pairings.

John Gibson is our winemaker who has been making wines for 30 years for the likes of Stags Leap and Vine Cliff and many others. He makes our grapes into wine, babies the barrels and makes sure we get the best from our grapes. We keep each varietal separate during barrel aging. John, Bill and Roxanne, the wine making team, meet several times to taste and tweak the wines which spend 18 to 24 months in the barrel and 18 to 24 months in the bottle before release. Our two blends are made from our core of what we grow, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine making team will decide what flavor profile will enhance the blend for that year and we will use grapes and wine from our friends in the Napa Valley who we know grow the best grapes. The Voluptuous has a Zinfandel finish and the Infatuation, a Malbec or Petit Syrah finish depending on the year.
