Denise and Stephen Adams discovered the perfect property that would become ADAMVS in 2008. In its five vineyard sites, iron-rich red soils, ideal elevation and diversity of vineyard exposures, they saw the perfect convergence of geology and geography. To realize the promise of ADAMVS, and the goal of establishing a new benchmark for excellence on Howell Mountain, they gathered together a small team that includes legendary viticulturist Michael Wolf (Scarecrow, Bond, Beckstoffer), consulting winemaker Philippe Melka (Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Petrus, Dana) and winemaker Jason Valenti (Paul Hobbs Wines, Kosta Browne). Denise and Stephen also began cultivating their mountainside vineyard biodynamically and organically, ultimately achieving biodynamic certification. Grounded in a respect for nature, they chose this approach for its integrity and attentiveness.
