Its owner’s passion for Cabernet Sauvignon was the prime factor in the establishment of Owl Ridge Wines in 2002. Owner John Tracy had already established other properties producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and decided that his infatuation with the great Bordeaux varietal was strong enough to cause him to establish another wine entity, Owl Ridge Wines.

John praises Joe’s (Joe Otos, Owl Ridge's partner /winemaker) knack for finding great vineyards. And, once he has found one, Joe’s like a veritable owl as he tracks its progress through the growing season. “As harvest approaches, I start walking through the rows to do random berry samples,” Joe explains. In addition to measuring juice sugar levels with a refractometer, he lets the juice soak in a plastic bag for several hours for a better idea of the flavors. “This really lets you see the location of certain flavor profiles in a vineyard.”
