“This vineyard is on a West-facing slope, above the fog line, on the Northern ridge of the Atlas Peak AVA. The Hambright and Guenoc soils, are dominated by red volcanic material with lots of flatrock, providing exceptional drainage to the hillside vineyard. Watch the story on IGTV.” - Winemaker's Notes
