Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery

Located above the village of Soquel on irrigated hillsides in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the vineyards capitalize on the sunny days, moderate nights, and long growing season which bring this appellation due recognition for world class wine production.

Successful viticulture on his property and a love of fine red wines inspired Vann Slatter, winemaker, to develop his unique style of approachable, carefully crafted wines. The Estate Merlot was the beginning and his repertoire has been expanded to include other regions in California.

Having selected growers who follow the same practices in the field and diligence from the crush to the bottle has enabled Hunter Hill to produce quality wines every time.
