OUR WINES
At
Cardinal Point, our winemaker, Tim Gorman, is the Vineyard Manager as well.
With 24 years of experience growing vitus vinifera vines at Cardinal Point,
Tim's expertise as a grower shows up in the quality of his wines.
Tim takes great pains to ripen his fruit to the best quality possible... since he knows he'll be the one paying for any shortcomings in the winery! And although he will tell you that the best wines make themselves, he clearly enjoys expressing his creative side in the cellar, as evidenced by our very popular signature blends.
