Single Vineyard, Estate Grown Wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains
Great Wines come from Great Sites
Mindego Ridge is a small 10-acre Santa Cruz Mountains vineyard perched on a south facing, shale-laced slope 8 miles from the Pacific lovingly farmed and cared for by husband and wife owners, David & Stacey Gollnick. Our mission is to produce 100% estate grown, single vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that authentically express the marine-influenced mountain terroir that is our home. Wines are crafted in small lots with minimal intervention by cool-climate virtuoso, Ehren Jordan.

“I’m a big believer that great wines come from great sites, farmed well and made with authenticity.”
— Ehren Jordan, Winemaker
Winemaker Ehren Jordan
Winemaker Ehren Jordan began his career with a two-year apprenticeship in the Rhone, followed by years of making wines for Neyers Vineyards and Turley Wine Cellars. Ehren and Anne-Marie Failla founded Failla in 1998 and since then have built a winery and caves in St. Helena, as well as a reputation around a growing portfolio of wines that include Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays influenced by Ehren’s viticultural training in France. In 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle named Ehren “Winemaker of the Year.” Ehren took interest in our project when he visited the vineyard in the summer of 2013 and today we are fortunate to have our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay crafted with his expertise.
