Micah Wirth

At the helm of Méhwa's winemaking is fourth-generation winemaker Micah Wirth. Following in his father's footsteps, Micah honed his craft under the mentorship of renowned winemakers Gary Farrell and Susan Reed. He later co-founded Joseph Jewell Wines and Ousterhout Wines, where he garnered critical acclaim, including 95+ point ratings in esteemed publications such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine & Spirits, and Food & Wine magazines. Micah's philosophy centers on producing wines that are ready to enjoy upon release, achieved through extended aging—36 months in French oak barrels followed by 6 months in the bottle.

The North Coast of California is the crown jewel of American winemaking, renowned for producing some of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines. Home to legendary wine regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and Lake County, this area is defined by its diverse terroir, coastal influences, and generations of winemaking expertise. With its rolling vineyards, cool maritime breezes, and rich soil, the North Coast offers the perfect conditions for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. From the bold, structured reds of Napa Valley to the elegant, cool-climate wines of Sonoma and Mendocino, this region embodies the very essence of California wine culture. When people think of California wine country, they picture the scenic landscapes and historic vineyards of the North Coast—a place where tradition meets innovation, and every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and excellence.
