Pleasant Valley Vineyards was located on a 5-acre estate near Aptos. Two acres of vines - Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - sat on the slopes overlooking a cluster of redwoods. Cathy tended the vines and Craig made the wines, which were named in honor of family members. The estate Chardonnay was Brittany Morgan, and the Pinot Noir was Dylan David.
Starting in 2006 the winery began introducing new wines made from purchased fruit: Casey Alexander Merlot, Abby Madison Cabernet Sauvignon, Sean Boyle Syrah, and Austin Craig Zinfandel.
