Split Rock (Gap's Crown) Vineyard

Sonoma Coast

Split Rock is located in the Sonoma Coast growing region on the west side of Sonoma Mountain. Its rocky soils combine with winds from the Petaluma Gap to create a challenging growing environment, but one that consistently produces great fruit. Most of the vineyard has optimal southwest exposure and is densely planted with over 2000 vines per acre. Wines from this cool climate site are very dark, feature dark cherry and have an excellent tannin and acid backbone required for aging.

Hein Vineyard

Anderson Valley

This vineyard is located on the North Coast of California outside the city of Philo in the Anderson Valley. The marine influence brings cool temperatures and foggy mornings that help preserve healthy acidity levels in the grapes. This gentle sloped vineyard was planted 13 yrs ago and is organically farmed yielding 2 tons per acre.

Lake Cynthia Vineyard

Napa Valley

Lake Cynthia Vineyard is located off the Silverado Trail in the southern part of Napa. This section of the valley is relatively cool, with temperatures up to 10 degrees lower than St. Helena. However, being on the east side of the valley, Lake Cynthia receives more hours of sunlight than the Napa floor. The moderate temperatures and long sun exposure result in an excellent balance of fruit, acidity and tannins. Wines from the vineyard show tremendous depth with plum and red fruits. While this site makes a fantastic stand-alone Merlot, blending in 5% of tannic hillside Cabernet makes it sing.
