The Mercy Makers
An Inspired Foundation
Founded by Mark Dirickson and Mike Kohne in 2008, Mercy represents the culmination of decades of enological endeavors, as well as their belief that fine wine is made in the vineyard - the finest wines from low-yielding, unique sites.

The Arroyo Seco AVA is, by geographic size, a small growing region. Within the tiny appellation, and adjacent to what it today a seasonal river tributary, there an even smaller section with vines planted in an ancient riverbed. Wines that Rock!
