Banshee

Banshee Wines was founded by three friends (Steve Graf, Baron Ziegler, and Noah
Dorrance) who shared a passion for wine and a lifelong dream of owning their own
winery. They have recruited an A+ winemaking team led by Ross Cobb formerly the
winemaker at Flowers Winery (Hirsch, Williams Selyem), Katy Wilson (LaRue, Flowers),
& Tim Milos (Stags Leap, Opus One).

In 2009, they pooled their money together to make the first vintage of Banshee Wines
Pinot Noir and since then have built up a stable of quality sources for Pinot fruit from
the finest AVAs in California. The Banshee winery runs on lease agreements with the
vineyards and focuses on growing Pinot and Chardonnay grapes on the extreme Sonoma
Coast.
