(NBBJ) - Michael David Winery of Lodi announced Thursday that it has purchased Silver Oak Cellars’ Geyserville winery as the latter moves into its new Alexander Valley production facility this summer.

The sale provides Michael David, a family-owned winery which has gained a large following with The 7 Deadly Zins and Freakshow brands, its first property in the premium North Coast region, where it already sources some of its grapes.

The sale includes the Tudor-style winery that can produce up to 70,000 cases annually and a 12-acre vineyard of cabernet sauvignon grapes. The purchase price was not disclosed by the parties.

“I have what I call a reverse commute. We buy a bunch of North Coast grapes to make Lodi wines,” said Kevin Phillips, vice president of operations at Michael David. “For us, it’s a pure facility play.”

Michael David will not immediately open up a tasting room at the site because it first wants to build up its Sonoma County wine portfolio, Phillips said. The majority of its wines sell for between $15 to $19 a bottle.
