Ryme Cellars is a collaboration of husband and wife with old world sensibilities, as well as admiration for California’s terroir and sunny disposition. Their portfolio of wines has grown gradually and organically since 2007, beginning with a single ton of Aglianico. The varieties may be rare or unusual but none of them are a mere curiosity for them. Rather, they represent wines that they love, drink often, and truly believe in the potential for success in their chosen sites.

Rhyme’s wines come from conscientiously farmed organic or sustainable vineyards. They are produced according to simple method — encouraged, never controlled. They use no cultured yeast, no temperature control, no enzymes or other adulterants. They do not fine or filter. The wines are raised in used French oak barriques between 2 and 10 years old. Many of the reds are fermented on the stems. Many of the whites are fermented on the skins.
