For me, exceptional wine has always begun in the vineyard. The Falcon & The Winemaker is the culmination of a lifetime spent studying, growing, and crafting wines with a singular focus on place.

THERE IS THE FALCON. THERE IS THE WINEMAKER.
THE STORY
The falcon searches from above. Patient and precise, it sees what others cannot.
The winemaker works from the ground. Walking the rows, reading the season, understanding the land.
Kryss Speegle is both.
A Master of Wine who chose the vineyard over convention bringing decades of global wine knowledge to the pursuit of one exceptional Sonoma wine.
THE FALCON AND THE WINEMAKER
THE WINE
Crafted from a single vineyard in Sonoma County, this Chardonnay reflects precision, patience, and an uncompromising commitment to place.

THE WINEMAKER
KRYSS SPEEGLE, MW
Master of Wine. Winegrower. Vigneron.
One of fewer than 150 women worldwide to hold the prestigious Master of Wine designation, Kryss Speegle combines technical expertise, instinct, and hands-on winegrowing experience to guide every vintage. Her approach begins in the vineyard, where careful stewardship of the land shapes the character and quality of every wine.
As both a winegrower and winemaker, Kryss believes exceptional wines should reflect their place of origin with clarity, balance, and authenticity. The Falcon & The Winemaker is an expression of that philosophy—crafted with precision, guided by intuition, and inspired by a deep respect for the vineyard and each growing season.
