The story of Karta Wines unfolds from the deep-rooted passion for wine shared by Peter and Darci Meyerhofer. Their affinity for wine has always been a social one, centered around the joy of sharing it with family and friends. The Meyerhofers established Karta Wines with their inaugural vintage of Pinot Noir in 2018; Karta wines are meticulously crafted by Paden West and recent vintages have received high praise and great scores from Wine Enthusiast.
