Philip ZORN

Philip was the winemaker at Sunny St. Helena Winery, Gauer Estate in Sonoma, Mountain View Vintners, and Paraiso Springs in Monterey, gaining experience with grapes grown in several regions. 

 

In 1998, Philip ventured out on his own and by 2000 had established his own Waterstone brand with a business partner, a label he eventually sold in 2017.

Philip’s philosophy as a winemaker is to let the vineyard speak for the wines. 

He avoids interfering with the expression of terroir and is careful to ensure that overlays like oak for example, do not overshadow the expression of the fruit.
