Vineyard Notes

The grapes are estate-grown from Lemmons Vineyard, the northernmost site in the acclaimed Crane Ridge micro-region. Positioned on a north-facing slope, this vineyard benefits from steady coastal breezes and a thick morning fog, creating ideal conditions for slow, even ripening and exceptional flavor development.

Vintage Notes

The 2025 vintage brought cooler conditions across the growing season, with temperatures never climbing above 100°F. Moderate weather allowed the fruit to ripen steadily, delivering balanced flavors and improved yields compared to the previous vintage, returning vineyards to more typical tonnage levels. A brief period of wet weather arrived during harvest, but most of the fruit was brought in ahead of the rain, preserving excellent quality. The year also marked an exciting step forward in the vineyard, with new Pinot Noir plantings and a portion of Syrah grafted over to Grenache and Mourvèdre, continuing the evolution of the estate’s Rhône-inspired plantings.
