The Vineyards
Careful planning went into the location and planting of the vineyards: 6.5 acres Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5 acres Merlot and 1 acre Syrah. The vineyards are planted on bench land soils of the sloping hillsides. A geologic survey of the entire ranch revealed the mountaintop was a river bottom 13 million years ago with varying soil types, all rocky. All vineyards are on a vertical trellis system with drip irrigation.
