Hein Family

Located north of Philo, this vineyard was planted 10 years ago and is oriented with a southern exposure that is all but necessary to ripen fruit in this area. When you first drive up to the vineyard you are struck by not only the beauty of the area, but the precision and maintenance of the vineyard, set on a gentle slope and farmed organically. While clones 115, 667, 777 and Pommard are grown in the vineyard, in 2006 we utilized only the Pommard clone to make the wine from this site.

Wentzel

Overlooking Goldeneye in Anderson Valley, this 10 acre vineyard was planted between 2000 and 2002 to clones 115, 667 and 777. It is farmed to perfection in the pursuit of quality utilizing organic viticulture. We sourced a little of each clone in 2006 to make our single barrel of wine from this location.

Akins

Just up the hill from the Hein Family Vineyard this site is unknown, but is producing some excellent fruit with classic Pinot characteristics. With the vines set close together and with an eye towards producing high quality fruit this vineyard was cropped at less than 1.5 ton per acre. It is planted with clones 115, 667, and Pommard. We utilized the Pommard for our 2006 vintage.
