About West Wines: 
WEST Wines is a boutique California winery owned by the Akerlind Bonde family, a Swedish family with a passion for growing and making fine wine.    When we met them we felt their passion about winemaking and was honored to be selected to represent these fantastic wines.  Their creativity in crafting these wines draws upon their other passions in music, art and science, which they combine with their love for select varietals from Dry Creek Valley to make the best possible wines.

Their Cabernet Sauvignon wine combines the best of traditional Bordeaux winemaking, low yield estate fruit, and the fantastic terror of the Dry Creek Valley. 

The Chardonnay is definitely crafted in the same manner as the great burgundies, and combines the synergy of traditional wine making techniques with  New World modern methods. All grapes are carefully hand harvested and meticulously sorted to ensure the highest quality.

The winery name is best described by the winery:  "Why are our wines called WEST Wines? Our vineyards where the grapes are sourced are among the most western vineyards in Sonoma County; therefore among the most western vineyards in the western hemisphere, hence the name WEST for our wines."

Phyllis Zouzounis is the current winemaker for West wines.  Releases from January 2009 and forward will represent Phyllis's crafts.  Phyllis is also the winemaker  for Raymond Burr and her winery Deux Amis.  The Current releases were crafted by  Julia Iantosca, famed winemaker from Lambert Bridge.
