"Colibri" translated to English means "Hummingbird. Like the delicate and well-balanced flight of the Colibri, our wines are both delicate and well balanced, while still maintaining their full bodied nature that is characteristic with the wines of the Sierra Nevada foothills.

The free draining de-composed granite soils and the gentle afternoon breezes, combined with the abundance of warmth from the summer sun during the day, and our cool nights produce the quality fruit that makes our delicately balanced and full-bodied wines. | Fair Play, CA
