Dragonette

In 2005, John and Steve Dragonette, along with their friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis, who they met while working at a prestigious Los Angeles wine boutique, established Dragonette Cellars. They spent several years in the rugged, windswept north of Santa Barbara County, searching for exceptional vines with a cold environment and committing themselves to slow, deliberate winemaking. They have dedicated their careers as winemakers to one thing and one thing only: the careful cultivation of specific blocks in exceptional vineyards for low yields and high quality, and the subsequent shepherding of these grapes into wines of purity, complexity, and balance. Dragonette Cellars uses the region's exceptional climate and soil diversity to craft intriguing and distinctive Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah in small amounts.
