Paul Dolan, a 4th generation winemaker, has roots that extend back to the beginning of the California wine industry. His 35-year career, all in Mendocino County, has brought Paul recognition as a pioneer and leader in progressive business practices and organic and Biodynamic® agriculture.

At the heart of Paul’s commitment is his Biodynamic estate Dark Horse Ranch where the 5th and 6th consecutive generations of his family grow grapes in the mountains of Mendocino. Here he and sons Heath and Jason have developed a 70 acre certified Biodynamic vineyard on a 160 acre hillside property east of the river.

Paul resides in Healdsburg, California with his wife Diana and daughter Sassicaia. He spends leisure time in his Mendocino County vineyards and on horseback at Dark Horse Ranch.

In 1997, Bob Swain joined Parducci as Winemaker and quickly began instituting an ultra-premium winemaking regimen, including adding several thousand small oak barrels for aging Parducci wines.

Bob has dedicated himself to crafting wines of character that truly express what makes Mendocino County, his home, special. In addition to winemaking and production, Bob also oversees the planting, farming and harvesting of Parducci’s estate vineyards and helps manages the winery’s relationships with its outside growers. Bob’s talent and dedication to excellence are reflected in the countless awards and accolades Parducci wines have won since his arrival.
