The winery ran into financial difficulties in late 2001 due to over-expansion and poor market conditions.[2] The winery's peak production was 250,000 cases. In May 2003, DeLoach Vineyards filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[3][4] The Boisset family of Burgundy, France purchased DeLoach in November 2003.[5]
In 2005 Cecil and Christine De Loach started a new winery, Hook & Ladder.[6][7] In May 2005, Joe Anderson and Mary Dewane purchased Hartman Lane Vineyards and Winery, an 18-acre property and winery facility in the Russian River Valley AVA from Cecil De Loach,[8] to start Benovia Winery.
