The house
Editorial review · reviewed on October 11, 2026Erik Baloyán planted his vineyard in Guadalupe Valley (Valle de Guadalupe) in 2003 and picked his first harvest in 2007. The winery, however, is in Tijuana: the grapes travel in refrigerated trucks, and maceration, fermentation, and bottling all happen right there. The winemaker is Chris Corley, with more than 30 years of experience in Napa Valley.
The Malbec is 100% French clone 595 from the vineyard and spends 22 months in French oak, and there is also a Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva. In Tijuana the winery doubles as a wine boutique and event hall, and at the ranch in the valley there is a rustic chapel that the founder designed and built.
