Furthermore's Granton Ridge Tasting Room
In 2006 they created their first two barrels of Pinot Noir - about 50 cases of wine. The fruit came from the Bohemian Vineyard in Freestone just a few miles from Nevina’s Vineyard, the estate vineyard on Willow Creek Road that they purchased in 2011. Having discovered their love of wine together in the 90s, particularly for Pinot Noir, their mission back then was to begin conducting a long term study of how Pinot Noir expresses itself regionally throughout California, particularly in areas influenced by coastal climates. All these years later, it is still their mission. Though they have grown gradually over the years, they are still a relatively small operation - they now produce about 2,000 cases annually from as far south as Santa Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County all the way up to Yorkville Highlands in Mendocino county, and many places in between. In 2015 they purchased Graton Ridge Cellars and established another estate vineyard, Graton Ridge Vineyard. This began a new chapter for them by establishing a tasting room and moving all of their operations to our new home just north of Sebastopol at the corner of Gravenstein Highway and Vine Hill Road.
People often ask them where the name Furthermore came from. They like to say that the name alludes to the never ending dialog that they engage in as they explore the ethereal beauty and diversity of Pinot Noir, and how its expression in the glass is easily affected by the place where it is grown and the special circumstances of each vintage.
