Vineyard Notes

With elevations that range from 900 to 1,200 feet, the aptly named Monte Rosso is a classic mountain vineyard, resting firmly on the southwest side of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Moon Mountain District, Sonoma County AVA.

Sitting above the fog line with undulating hillsides, the vineyard’s iron-rich soils are red, rocky and well drained. Vines struggle for nutrients here and the rich, concentrated fruit shows it.
