About the vineyard
This vineyard site was selected for its high quality soils which, through its mature vines, yield amazing flavor profiles. These grapes have earned many awards for the vineyard's loyal winemakers. Since the loss of the farmer, Jim, the vineyard is currently for sale. It is a beautiful and highly desirable vineyard, large enough to maintain a winery of it's own if so desired.
