What distinguishes Randy Mason`s wines from all the others is that he enjoys and adheres only to making wines that are true to their varietal character. How he achieves this trueness and consistency is by using the same vines year after year and by spending much time in the vineyard prior to harvesting. Mason believes in letting the fruit show through in the wine and not to add a lot of processes and unnatural enhancements. He considers himself a California style winemaker.
