Cedar Mountain Winery

Our Story

CEDAR MOUNTAIN WINERY was established in the Livermore Valley in 1990. Earl & Linda Ault bought their first property at 7000 Tesla Rd in 1988. At the time the entire vineyard was Chenin Blanc vines. In 1989 they grafted the Chenin Blanc vineyard to a mixture of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The first CMW release was the 1990 Estate Chardonnay. The same year they made a small lot of Cabernet Sauvignon, which was released in 1993. In 2005 they grafted some of the Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc and released their first estate Sauvignon Blanc in early 2007. In 2012 they moved to a smaller property without a vineyard on Reuss Road to focus on hand crafted, small lot Table Wines and Ports. The smaller winery gives Earl more time to practice his skills as an accomplished artist. Linda, a recognized amateur chef, has more time to create gourmet meals for Earl! They specialize primarily in Livermore grown and produced wines. These wines are available in fine restaurants, wine shops, directly from the winery tasting room or by phone order.
