Located in a sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley known as Green Valley, Kobler Family Vineyard is a wonderful example of how producing wines of distinction sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Surrounded by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Koblers wanted to produce organically-grown Syrah in one of the coolest areas of the Russian River. On a slightly elevated ridge along the eastern boarder of Green Valley, the vineyard slopes gently to the west and its distinguishing climatic influences are cool temperatures, fog, and afternoon breezes.
