At first the Carhartts sold most of their fruit to other winemakers. They converted a hay barn into a winery, and Brooke studied enology. In 1998, the first year of fruit production, they vinified two barrels for their own label bearing the Carhartt cattle brand. These early Merlots and Syrahs garnered favorable reviews and awards, so they continued to develop their own program and soon had enough wine to open a tasting room Their current estate plantings include Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah, and Grenache; they also grow Sangiovese at neighboring Eleven Oaks Vineyard and purchase Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel from other sources. Although the Carhartts can be found in the tasting room, Brooke still manages all of the winemaking, and Mike spends part of every day in the vineyard.
