Grape receiving, crushing, and fermentation occurs in half the underground facility, with the finished product transferred to French and American oak for aging until it is ready for release The tasting room features, along with thir wines,the Angels Gate Tower, a 41-foot structure featuring a photo history of the vineyards, and other educational displays.
