WINE REGION:
![Outline of California](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1819/normal/California.png?1616010998)
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
![large bunches of red grapes on the vine](/static/1194e56820adfeee543f9cb0c258b6e1/524cb/grapes-1.jpg)
Murmurations
The philosophy behind Murmurations came from bird watching. When starlings are startled and fly together in the sky they are so densely packed that sometimes it seems as if they blot out the sun. As they weave around one another organic shapes are flashed in the sky, creating a vision that is greater than the sum of its parts. Like the birds, wine takes many individual grapes and makes something beautiful.
