History
When the Foster family first visited the rugged slopes of Pine Mountain, they knew they had discovered the perfect home for their family and the perfect place to grow world-class Bordeaux wine grapes. Along with Ben and Tara Sharp, and founding winemakers May-Britt and Denis Malbec, they launched Captûre Wines in 2008, on a parcel of land that rises from 1,600 to 2,500 feet above the Alexander Valley floor in Sonoma County, California - a picturesque spot with breathtaking views and a rich winegrowing heritage.
The mountain estate, historic Tin Cross Vineyards, has been planted to vine since early homesteaders first settled here in 1855. In keeping with the legacy of these pioneers, the team works hand-in-hand with the earth, using sustainable farming methods that result in mountain-grown wine grapes of uncommon intensity.
In the winery, time-honored Bordeaux methods from our renowned winemaking team give these grapes their finest expression for wines of depth, nuance and complexity.
Captûre Wines - Bordeaux tradition, frontier spirit.
