ABOUT
THE VINEYARD |
Our
three-acre Syrah vineyard is situated at a scenic bend in Redwood
Creek, on the bench
lands between Napa’s Carneros and Mt Veeder Viticulture
Districts. Our proximity to Carneros
provides a maritime climate, and our location at the base of
Mt.Veeder is approximately
300 feet above the valley floor. |
| |
This combination of maritime climate and
elevation result in an ideal location for growing Syrah.
