- Our familys Laguna Ranch Vineyard, originally planted in the late 1800s, is located in the Region I hillsides of the Russian River Valley. Soils here are a combination of gravelly and sandy loam, referred to as Sebastopol series. The fog that lingers here throughout the day makes this the coolest of our Sonoma County vineyards, and produces Chardonnay grapes with crisp acidity and concentrated citrus, apple, and pear flavors and aromas.

- The resulting wine has a fat, buttery nose, with a vegetal complexity and a chewy, vanilla and apple palate.
