Coleman Vineyard wine is estate grown and produced by co-vintners Randy and Kim Coleman. Along with mother nature, we have control of the process at our winery and vineyard site from the time the vines first bloom in the spring until the cork is placed in the bottle. The grapes are cropped each year to approximately 2 tons/acre and dry farmed for ripening and intensity of the wine. We strive to express the terroir in our wines, a reflection of our unique site and climate, with gentle, minimal winemaking techniques.

Winemaker Randy Coleman has extensive experience in industrial manufacturing during his many years as an electrical contractor. He manages the crush and winemaking process along with overseeing the vineyard and crews through the growing season. He manages to balance out Kim's obssesiveness in the winemaking process, and she has to admit, he is usually right.
Randy and Kim studied viticulture and winemaking through the continuing education program at University of California at Davis.
