Vineyard

Clone 4

California's most famous clone. The "Wente" Clone 4, on our cooler climate site, does not grow as large nor as tightly bunched as it does elsewhere. It produces wines that are rich and aromatic, with good minerality. Typical flavors are lots of citrus, especially lemon and lime. From the older vines we see lush, tropical fruits and green apple. 

We also have Chardonnay Dijon clone 96.

Clones 777, 667 & 115

Originally from Morey St. Denis in the Cote d’Or, 777 is at the heart of some of Burgundy’s greatest reds and offers a combination of finesse and power. Pinot Noir Burgundy clone 115, is appreciated for its perfume and structure. Pinot Noir Burgundy clone 667 is known for aromatic and tannic finesse.  These three Dijon clones are considered amongst the finest Pinot Noir clones in the world. They are prized for their smaller grape sizes and bunch weights, producing classic Burgundy attributes with great intensity in both fruit flavors and aromatics.

Clone 877 & Estrella

A French clone from Tarn-et-Garonne in southwest France, 877 is noted for its high quality. It renown for producing full-bodied, spicy wines with strong tannins. The Estrella "Eberle" clone represents the most highly planted and one of the most coveted Syrah clones in California. It is late-ripening with loose clusters and soft skins, which delivers a rich, concentrated fruit quality to the wines. 

Award winning fruit with a Double Gold, Best in Class from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and honored as a 2019 Wine of the Year. Our Albariño is hand harvested at night. It has produced wines with delicate floral, lemon lime, apricot and honey notes, with excellent acidity.

Planted in the spring of 2023, our Pinot Meunier, is clone 5 and is organically farmed.
