Scott & Heather Artis purchased the predominantly mature vines in January 2024 with the strategy of producing small lot vintages inspired by our love for German Shorthaired Pointers. From pruning to harvest, Scott & Heather are actively engaged in the hands-on, labor of love process and have lived in the Napa Valley since 2014. The vineyard is surrounded by incredible landscapes and world renowned wineries.
A small Napa County vineyard in the Carneros Region planted with Pinot Noir vines Clone 777 on 110R rootstock. These vines are vigorous and produce fruit that are quite aromatic, dark and rich – resulting in complex wines. The vineyard is located in Napa’s Los Carneros American Viticultural Area that “spans across parts of Napa Valley and Sonoma.
Los Carneros is known for its relatively cooler temperatures due to the marine fog and breezes coming in off the San Pablo Bay” per the Napa Valley Vintners. Los Carneros is composed of a series of low rolling hills that sit above the San Pablo Bay and beneath Mount Veeder. The soils are predominately sandy loam over clay.

A premier region
a p a V a l e y
Napa Valley is considered one of the premier wine regions in the world. Records of commercial wine production in the region date back to the nineteenth century, but premium wine production dates back only to the last 60 years. The combination of Mediterranean climate, geography and geology of the region are conducive to growing quality wine grapes. Napa Valley is one of the world’s premier wine destinations and boasts more than 400 wineries and wine tasting rooms.

CHEERS!
Coming Soon is our first vintage of Pinot Noir called The Banjo. This small lot has been produced from grapes harvested on the vineyard prior to our purchasing vines in 2024. We look forward to sharing Banjo’s tale through this premier Short Tales Vineyard offering.
