"With over 48 harvests of Paso Robles grapes to his credit, Dave Caparone is one of the most experienced local winemakers. Today with his son Marc (who has apprenticed with him for over 30 years) he continues to produce some of the most distinctive red wines in the area. Known as a strict purist in his winemaking techniques and for his down-to-earth approach to fine wine, he has developed a reputation for his rich, long-lived reds. He is also recognized as an American pioneer of the production of Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Aglianico. Caparone wines are noted for their ageworthiness, complexity and excellent varietal character." ⁠
