Small-lot, Heartfelt Wines

Handcrafted Wines, Inspired by Place

Starting with meticulously grown fruit from select Sonoma Valley sites, Keith Emerson shapes Hibou wines into Bordeaux-style blends that are both complex and inviting. Our small-scale production allows us to devote exceptional care to every detail โ€” from vineyard sourcing and grower partnerships to winemaking and cellar aging. Employing precise, modern techniques, Keith ensures each bottle captures the fullest, most authentic expression of the land from which it comes.

Patient Pursuit, Inspired by Nature

Hibou /ee-boo/, French for โ€œowl,โ€ reflects our pursuit of crafting great wines from exceptional grapes โ€” patient, observant, and deliberate in our approach. Like the owlโ€™s call echoing through the vineyards, we aim to capture a sense of awe in every wine โ€” exploring, taking risks, and allowing the process to unfold to express the beauty of place.
