2011 Ty Caton ''Caton Vineyard'' Sonoma Valley Petite Sirah

The adventure began when Ty Caton suggested to his parents he partner with them to develop their 108-acre property in the renowned Mayacamas Mountain Range. Adjacent to world-class vineyards, the property boasts diverse soils, elevations, and sun exposures ideal for grape growing. The area eventually earned its own prestigious appellation: the Moon Mountain District. While still selling grapes to select labels, the winery now focuses on its own production. The winery annually produces just under 10,000 cases, including small-batch Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Malbec.
