Producer websiteCinnabar was established in 1983 by Tom Mudd (1942–2007). A scientist by trade, Tom was inspired by the nuances, challenges, and thrills of the winemaking process. In the early 80s he partnered with Vineyard Manager Ron Mosley to plant twenty-two acres of estate vineyards and built a majestic winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. After many fruitful years, Cinnabar's estate was sold in 2007 with Tom's passing. Cinnabar then settled into its new home at the thriving Tasting Room in downtown Saratoga.
