The winery was established in 2002, when Canadian businessman Cliff Lede purchased 60 acres of vineyards in the famed Stags Leap District. In the following years, Lede formed an unrivaled team to make the most of this remarkable property. First onboard was noted viticulturist David Abreu, known for his work with Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Araujo and Bryant. Michelle Edwards, formerly with Colgin, was then hired as Winemaker. Consultant Michel Rolland, recognized for his contributions to such famed estates as Ornellaia, Harlan and Chateau Le Bon Pasteur, was then retained.
