The Pinot Project began in 2009 with a vision to be recognized as one of the best wine values in the world. With a fresh and fruit-forward style, the lineup always scores big with publications and consumers alike. Named a "Top 100 Best Buy" by Wine Enthusiast in 2022, this brand continues to grow!

The first vines at The Terraces, originally called Quarry Vineyard, were planted on steep hillsides in 1981 by Wayne Hogue, divided equally between Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. The Crull family purchased the property in 2001, and grew to Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Riesling.

Turley makes 50 separate wines from 50 different vineyards, some with vines dating back to the late 1800s. Often low yielding, these vineyards require extra care and attention in order to reflect their aged glory. All of the vineyards are organic, and only natural yeasts are used.

Alisa Jacobson launched Turning Tide Wines in 2018 with the goal of showcasing the true essence of the grapes that she harvests while respecting the elements each vineyard site provides— ‘turning the tide’ on how vineyards are farmed, so to speak.
