Planted in the spring of 2008 with dormant vines, the five acres of pinot noir and half acre of chardonnay bore their first fruits in the 2010 vintage. At our vineyard, the weather is cooler and harsher than the nearby Sta. Rita Hills and the soil changes color and consistency over the vineyard's hillside from sand to clay to limestone. The vineyard rests on southeasterly facing slopes and is sheltered from the strong Pacific Coast winds by the surrounding hills. Please visit our website for more details.
