Big Basin Vineyards has been producing highly acclaimed Rhone wines since its first vintage in 2003. It was named one of the top 100 wineries in 2008 by Robert Parker Jr., who enthusiastically noted the “Impressive Syrahs.” Wine Spectator Magazine cited Big Basin as one of ten “Promising new producers” of Syrah in California. With the 2006 harvest, proprietor and winemaker Bradley Brown began producing single vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noirs, again, to critical acclaim. The Estate vineyard is located in Boulder Creek, on the way to Big Basin State Park, on the site of a vineyard originally planted in the 1880s. Today, the organically farmed vineyard is planted to Grenache, Syrah and Roussanne. Winemaker Bradley Brown sources premium fruit from select vineyards in Monterey and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
