| Our
Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in the Rutherford Region of Napa.
Located on the world renowned Rutherford Bench the vineyard benefits
from warm summer days moderated by cool evening breezes
from San Pablo Bay and yield grapes rich in character, with good acidity
and soft tannins.
Merlot is grown on our estate
vineyard surrounding the winery and our Chardonnay is grown on our
estate vineyard as well as the Dillon Vineyard adjacent to the winery.
The growing season is characterized by long, cool summer days influenced by the breeze and
early morning fog intrusions from San Pablo Bay.
Inland, at the 2,000 foot
elevation in the Sierra Foothills, Canterbury Vineyard yields Syrah
grapes benefiting from the shallow soils, low yields, long daytime
photoperiod, hot daytime temperatures and cool mountain evening temperatures – all
influenced by the nearby New Mellones Dam.
