"The Vandal Vineyards is on the Napa side of the northern Carneros. As a matter of fact, it is the northern boundary of the AVA. Welling up out of the valley into the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountain range, RSV’s organically farmed Vandal Vineyard is a gem of a property. The rolling hills provide beautiful northeast exposure to the morning sun with shade in the late afternoon. Ideal for a long growing season and fully developed flavor." More at RobertSinskey.com
