The co-owner of Dominio IV, Patrick Reuter's guiding hands ensure that our Two Row Proprietors Cuvee is a rich expression of our vineyard each year.
Patrick learned about winemaking while working harvests in Chile, New Zealand, Napa, Burgundy and Oregon, where he grew up. He graduated from the University of California Davis where he studied terroir while his wife Leigh studied viticulture.
Patrick and wife Leigh, started Dominio IV in 2002 and have been working with Viognier, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Tempranillo ever since.
You'll find his guidance over our Two Row a delightful balance of our site, soil, vintage and Mother Nature's quirky variations.
