Grown on our 18-acre estate mountain vineyard at elevations of up to 2,200 feet in rocky in red volcanic soil. The vineyard is CCOF Organic and Demeter Biodynamic certified. On the ranch we aim for a true biodynamic “closed system,” where biodynamic preparations are sourced primarily from the property itself. A picturesque aspect of this is the Scottish Highlander cattle, which play an important role.

We experienced 150% of average rainfall in the vineyard. This above average rainfall delayed bud break and the work we do early in the season. A mild summer with only a few heat spikes allowed for extended flavor development and one of our largest harvests, with the grapes coming in at superb quality levels.

Hand crafted in an old-world style, we used minimal intervention in the cellar to bring the highest expression of our Lake County Red Hills vineyard’s terroir to every glass.
