This high-tech facility includes a crush pad, a tank room, a winemaker's lab, a barrel room with offices above, and a warehouse/bottling room for up to 400,000 cases of annual production. The energy-efficient design utilizes natural slopes for gravity flow, buildings built into hillsides for geothermal cooling, and reclaimed water collection ponds for irrigation purposes. The design respects the existing topography, native oak trees, natural watercourses, and habitat for the kitfox.
