We are blessed with the opportunity to source our wonderful grapes from 400 acres of estate vines, along with a small selection from other premium vineyards in California.

Our estate vines are planted in thin, rocky, decomposed granite soils on a series of gentle slopes with an elevation somewhere between 1500 and 2000 ft and located in a Region III by Davis Heat Summation Units (identical to northern Napa or Calistoga). All of this, combined with cool night breezes off the Sierra Nevada’s after those warm, warm days, makes for some prime, grape-growing real estate. The vines are constantly selected and managed to keep vine growth to a minimum and crop yields low so that all their effort goes into ripening and not on making more leaves and canes.
