JACK CREEK CELLARS, INC. Information

Established in 1997. Jack Creek Cellars is a small family owned, family operated vineyard and winery. Our Vineyard and winemaking practices are synonymous: Quality and close personal attention. Hand tended vines producing low yields of fruit with intense flavors, harvested at the peak of performance is our daily focus. This fruit leads to limited amounts of luscious, hand crafted wines for you to enjoy. Handled gently and nurtured from the vine to the bottle we believe that our wines reflect the beautiful terroir of the Central Coast of California. Jack Creek Cellars makes its wines from 100% Estate grown fruit allowing us complete control in our growing process and winemaking. We are also a 100% straight varietal winery which allows us to truely showcase what each vintage and varietal has to offer. From the vine to the bottle to your glass. In 1997 we began the pursuit of a dream; it started with 75 acres on Jack Creek Road in Templeton, CA. The first priority with the fruit produced from our vineyard has always been quality, believing strongly that without amazing fruit you cannot make a world class wine! Kruse Vineyards / Jack Creek Cellars is located about 7 miles from the coast and on the southern end of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, in the "Templeton Gap" as the locals call it. Secured in a unique micro-climate our vineyard receives heavy coastal influence: cool morning fog burning off to early afternoon sun which ripens the fruit, followed by coastal breezes which cools the fruit down and maintains the integrity of the varietals planted on our 40 acres: 24 acres Pinot Noir and 7 Syrah, 5 Chardonnay and 4 Grenache. It is truly a labor of love and passion, and that shows through from the practices in the fields to the production in the winery and finally, our dedication in every bottle.
