With a more than opulent estate Program, Indigené Cellars is committed to capture wines with profound and entrancing perfume, complex and ethereal flavors, velvety texture, and soft, fully integrated tannins.
Though our Vineyards have been producing award winning wines for years, Indigené has forged strong relationships with expert growers in additional terroirs. This in tandem with our estate program has developed a phenomenal range of flavors and textures that can be enjoyed now.
With that in mind, these wines are created with high Phenolic contents, structured tannins and additional Flavonoids which create an environment for Indigené Wines to Age Gracefully. We at Indigené invite you to experience our humble translation of art, nature and tradition.

Born and raised in Oakland, CA, Raymond Smith worked as a Ship Joiner and grocery clerk. In the late 1980's, Raymond relocated to Paso Robles, CA, a small town on the Central Coast. He quickly acclimated himself to the many aspects of the wine business. Shortly thereafter he helped build and eventually owned and operated a small fleet of mobile wine bottling lines.
Raymond developed great relationships with growers and producers, who shared the intricacies of the wine business. He chose to further challenge himself and work to create excellent growing conditions and ideal cellaring practices.
