Krutz Family Cellars was founded in summer of 2003 in Monterey County when Patrick Krutz produced sixty cases of wine. The idea was to purchase a ton of grapes a year in order to produce a small amount of wine for family and friends. However, demand soon changed that plan and Krutz Family Cellars continues to grow in an effort to supply that demand. In 2011 Bryan and Cole Krutz joined their brother Patrick as owners and Krutz Family Cellars is now a family owned winery located in Sonoma County. Since 2003, Krutz Family Cellars has included a Magnolia flower on each bottle of wine that it has produced. The Magnolia, the state flower and tree of Mississippi, is a symbol of our southern roots. It not only represents where we are from, but also our way of life-true, honest, and fun. Our Krutz wines are built with one purpose, build the best. This starts in the vineyards where we have full control of our various Krutz blocks. This includes, but not limited to, farming practices, yield control, irrigation calls, and night time harvest dates. Once the fruit is received, we cut no corners. Hand sorting, whole berry integrity, new Taransaud French Oak fermenters, and gravity-fed, Free Run Only Wine (no press fractions) straight to the finest French Oak barrels on the market are just some of the critical core components to making the best wine possible. Krutz Family Cellars works with grapes grown at some of the best vineyard sites in California: Beckstoffer Vineyards Georges III, Soberanes Vineyard, Stagecoach Vineyard & Martinelli Road.
