This wine evokes the feeling of standing on a coastal bluff, overlooking the ocean as the breeze moves through the cypress trees. Fresh and vibrant, it offers subtle notes of rose, pepper, pine, and evergreen that create a unique sense of place and character.

VINEYARD INFO
Dino Estate Vineyard is a small family vineyard planted in 2003 by Larry and Margie Dino, with help from their children. Consisting of just 50 vines of Merlot and 75 vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyard provides the fruit for Bien-Amié, Cuda Ridge's limited-production single-barrel wine. Located in the central Livermore Valley, the site is characterized by exceptionally gravelly, well-drained soils that retain heat and promote early ripening, making it one of the first red varietal vineyards harvested each season. Managed daily by winemaker Larry Dino, the vineyard reflects the hands-on dedication and passion behind one of Cuda Ridge’s most cherished wines.
