Vineyard Notes
Sourced from our family’s vineyard in Russian River Valley, the pinot noir for this wine comes from a hillside block known as “Redwood Block.” This beautiful block is shielded from the sun by massive Redwood trees, ensuring that the fruit never gets sunburned, and preserving the grape’s natural acidity. The chardonnay for
this wine sits across the street from the winery, just a few hundred feet from the Russian River. It is a mix of Dijon and Robert Young clones.
