Calstar Cellars

|
Calstar Cellars was started in 2001 with the goal of making food friendly, value oriented wines. To do so we select fruit from quality growers and try to capture what makes it unique in a bottle. This year we are very excited to add a fourth wine to our offerings, a Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley in Mendocino, using fruit from Rivers Edge Vineyard previously only used for Londer Vineyards wines. The Anderson Valley is attracting attention as an up and coming region for
Pinot Noir and this vineyard produces some of the most unique fruit we’ve had the pleasure of working with. As a winemaker I've worked in the industry since 1988 starting as a cellar rat (worker) and have been Assistant Winemaker at Flowers Vineyard and Winery, two Central Coast Wineries and Tandem Winery. In addition to Calstar Cellars (my own label) I am currently Winemaker for Londer Vineyards, Halleck Vineyards, Alcina Cellars and La Czar Vineyards. Richard Davis Owner/Winemaker
