We have always been proud of our Estate “Home” Vineyard. In our valley, this site sits at a relatively low elevation that is plagued by cold air draining throughout the valley and thus intermittent spring frost. To remedy this, we looked up. Dos Padres and House Mountain Vineyards were planted at higher elevations that are slightly warmer due to the fact that the hill-slopes receive a more constant flow of air that protect the grapes from fungal issues. These “Highland” vineyards, now a decade old, are producing spectacular wines and we want to provide a Rhone inspired blend that embraces our valley’s rich soils and perfect grape-growing climate.
