Estate-grown grapes come from Mount Veeder, elevation of 1,800-2,400 feet, engendering 30+ degree diurnal shifts. Volcanic tufa and fractured basalt contribute to flinty minerality. Restricted yields concentrate flavors. Most of the vines are dry farmed, deepening root systems and further concentrating flavor. Certified organic since 2013. Fruit from six merlot blocks, primarily French Clone 181 and Clone 3. Delicious now, capable of a decade-plus of aging.
