About the winery · Crushed ›
Crushed is the brand name shown for this California Pinot Noir, while distributor records tie the UPC to Terravant Wine Company. Wine Enthusiast's review lists the winery as Crushed and the appellation as California. Terravant was a Buellton, California producer/custom-crush operation that later became Summerland Wine Brands; Noozhawk reported in 2023 that Summerland Wine Brands, formerly Terravant Wine Co., planned to liquidate equipment and sell the facility. No current producer product page or tech sheet was found within the research budget.
