Ladrón Cellars

Ladrón Cellars is an urban winery based in Englewood, Colorado, where founder and winemaker Richard Crockett produces wine from grapes grown in California's Central Coast and select Washington sites. The name Ladrón, Spanish for thief, refers to the practice of transporting fruit and finished wine to the Englewood production facility. Crockett started the winery in 2015 after studying enology at Washington State University, inspired by trips to California wine country and by Central Coast winemaking. The winery sources from sustainable and organic vineyards across California AVAs including Santa Maria Valley, Santa Rita Hills, and Paso Robles, plus Washington's Royal Slope, Red Mountain, and Snipes Mountain. It works with Rhône varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, along with Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others, producing red blends as well as white and rosé wines. Tasting takes place in the Englewood tasting room, where guests choose wine flights or bottles and can add charcuterie and small bites; reservations are recommended for groups of six or more.
