In 2014, Mike Wolf introduced the Araujo family to Liz Moffitt, the owner of a 70-acre ranch with an extraordinary jewel-box of a 3.5-acre vineyard. Adjacent to the southern border of Vine Hill Ranch; Hopper Creek separates the two properties.
Accendo first sourced fruit from M-Bar Ranch in 2019; the resulting wine is generous and full, with fine, lush tannins. The resulting wine offers richness, juiciness and roundness to the blending table.
