First established in 1997, it has grown to nearly 22 acres of Pinot Noir. The vineyard is defined by the cold, fierce Pacific Ocean winds that blast the site via the Van Duzer Corridor and by the dramatic volcanic soil variation from ancient basalt flows. It has the most diverse collection of Pinot Noir clonal selections on our Estate, with Pommard, Wädenswil, Mt. Eden, Swan, Calera, and Dijon clones 114, 115, and 777.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis distinctive vineyard produces tiny berries with thick skins, leading to a higher skin-to-juice ratio.
