You step into a black SUV on a brisk San Francisco morning and the city releases you—traffic hums behind as the hills ahead open into grape rows that seem to push the sky outward. The drive along rolling country roads is part of the day: bay fog gives way to sunlit valley floors where vines lean into the light and the air smells faintly of earth and oak.
