 Russian River Terrace, 24 acres |
 Dry Creek Bench, 67 acres |
| Purchased in 1971. Located south of Healdsburg, 1/2 mile east of the Russian River. A historic ranch with older mixed vines and prunes planted at the turn of the century. Re-planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Petite Sirah and new additions of Zinfandel with 4 acres of old vine Zinfandel still in production. This vineyard receives many summer days of late breaking fog which provides a cooling climate and excellent location for the early maturing Pinot Noir & Chardonnay grapes and yields long hang time & complex flavors for the later maturing Zinfandel. | Purchased in 1976. Located north of Healdsburg on the elevated eastern bench land above the Dry Creek valley floor. This historic ranch of mixed old vines had a record of grape growing dating back to 1886. Re-planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and new additions of Zinfandel with 2 acres of 50 year old Carignane and 12 acres of 100 year-old Zinfandel still in production. This well drained gravelly clay loam has a southwest exposure and receives full sun late into the evening making it an ideal location for fully ripe clean fruit of intense varietal character on Zinfandels and Cabernet Sauvignon. |
