 We founded The Vines of Mendoza in 2005 with our friend and partner David Garrett when a trip to Mendoza quickly convinced us of the region’s promise and bright future. Our shared passion for making some of Argentina's best wines and the dream of owning our own vineyard to grow the grapes for our wines led us to create the Private Vineyard Estates in partnership with an amazing team including: Santiago Achával and Diego Reina.

Santiago Achával fell in love with wines and winemaking after frequently visiting the Napa Valley while receiving his MBA from Stanford. Achával-Ferrer, his winery in Mendoza, boasts four of the five highest rated wines in Argentine history, as judged by Wine Spectator, and the highest rated Argentine wine to date according to Robert Parker. He recently received 98 points for his 2004 Finca Altamira Malbec and 97 points for his 2004 Finca Bellavista Malbec from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate.  Bullrich is a real estate company with a long tradition in the Buenos Aires market. They have partnered with The Vines of Mendoza to offer the dream of owning your own vineyard to individuals in Argentina. Their integrity and commitment to excellence is exemplified by their outstanding reputation. clbendeck@ibullrich.com.ar 
Diego comes from one of the oldest winemaking families in Argentina and was the agricultural director overseeing La Rural and Rutini's 600 acres of vineyards before his family sold the business in 1999. Since then, he has helped build vineyards for projects including J. & F. Lurton, LaGarde and many others.
Rob is the consulting winemaker at Napa Wine Company where, until recently, he was also CEO for six years. Under his management, famous Napa Valley cult wines such as Colgin, Staglin and Bryant Family were made there. Rob brings his experience working in a single winery with 75 different demanding clients, each with its own unique style and unyielding commitment to quality, to help us design and operate our winery and to achieve the individual winemaking desires of each of our owners.
