B Wise Vineyards is the vision of founder and proprietor Brion Wise. Since the days of his youth on the family apple farm in Yakima Washington, Brion has had the dream of growing vines and making wine.

It was a long, circuitous road from his dad's homemade fruit wines to forays with great Bordeaux and Tuscan Cabernet along the way. However Brion's passion for wine built over time and the search for a few acres to call his own began during the 1980's. Back then, one search for the right spot almost lead to the Dry Creek area, but never came to fruition. It wasn't until friends settled in the northern California wine country that the earnest pursuit of his dream resumed.

In 2002, Brion staked his claim in California's Sonoma Valley. He forged our beautiful wine estate in the Sonoma Valley from the raw, rugged hillsides of the famed Red Mountain (Monte Rosso) from the ground up. On the path of fulfilling his childhood dream, Brion planted and developed the vineyards, pairing the unique qualities of the site with the latest information on vines and grapes. Later, he engineered and dug a stunning wine cave for barrel aging our wines. Currently he is in the process of finalizing plans and development of the Estate winery. An on-going endeavor, Brion's goal is to produce authentic, exceptional, world-class wine.

To achieve that goal, Brion has also assembled an extraordinary wine-growing team. Since the first vintage of B Wise Vineyards wines our 4th generation winemaker, Massimo Monticelli has dedicatedly handcrafted all our small lot wines. In 2006 acclaimed viticulturalist Ulysses Valdez joined our team with the aim of further refining our wine growing on the Estate in Sonoma. Long-time Sonoma vineyard manager, Enrique Castillo has overseen our grape growing from the inception of the vineyards. Pulling the talents of the team together Brion is intimately involved with both the viticulture and the winemaking at B Wise Vineyards.

From the beginning our focus and our passion at B Wise Vineyards has been one thing: Cabernet Sauvignon. We produce red wines based around Cabernet and complimented with the noble Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petite Verdot and Syrah suite of grapes. Our uncompromising approach within each stage of wine growing ensures only the best wines get put into our bottles. Our driving philosophy is quality above all. It is this drive from earth to glass that you taste in every one of our wines.
