History
Jack Day, grandson of Hillcrest founder Reginald Parsons, saw the potential of grape growing on the historic Hillcrest Orchard and armed with the vision of an artisan farmer and a Harvard MBA, oversaw the planting of the original 20 acres on the southwest slopes of Roxy Ann Peak in 1997; where the property's shallow, limestone-clay soils and southern solar exposure seemed ideally suited to producing Bordeaux style varietals.
In 2001, the first harvest of grapes at RoxyAnn produced only 150 cases of a proprietary red "Claret" that was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot; with the entire production selling out in two weeks. Today, RoxyAnn Winery produces nearly 15,000 cases of award-winning Claret, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier that reflect balance, complexity and profound depth of flavor.

Estate Vineyards / AVA
By utilizing methods such as cover crops, compost, and in-row cultivation to produce a natural cycle of nutrition and organic matter in the vineyard, we are able to support a living, healthy soil while preventing damage to the ecosystems that surround our vineyards. These practices ultimately ensure that we will be able to continue to produce the same, or greater, quality of wines generations from now without negative impact on the natural resources that surround us.
In 2008, winemaker John Quinones came to RoxyAnn with a vision to truly elevate the region’s winemaking potential and recognized RoxyAnn as the perfect vehicle to drive that evolution. With this vision as our inspiration, we turned our eyes on aggressively restructuring our vineyards to refocus the direction of our best varietals.
We brought in highly acclaimed vineyard management specialists Matt Novak of Results Partners in McMinnville and Martin Mochizuki of Napa to bring a North and South approach to winemaking. They joined forces with Vineyard Supervisor Randy Gold, Hillcrest Orchard Farm Manager Terry Light, and John Quinones and got to work in the vineyard. The result is a refined focus on selected varietals that prove to not only thrive, but to truly be the backbone to a selection of harmoniously balanced and multifaceted wines.
Today, the vineyards produce an excellent variety of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo & Viognier that contribute to over 15,000 cases of wine produced annually. As for the future, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay were recently added to our vineyard plantings, and we look forward to their release sometime in 2014.
