In the Vineyards
Sourced exclusively from McGinley Vineyard—formerly known as Westerly Vineyard, and host to the first plantings of Sauvignon Blanc in the appellation (planted in 1996, some 13 years before the region’s formal designation). Soils here are shallow and meager, strewn with chert, serpentine, and alluvial cobbles.
In the Winery
To nurture and preserve the alluring texture and concentration afforded by McGinley’s soils, we naturally ferment and raise its wines in old barrels. This meticulous process supports our promise to you that each bottle from this remarkable vineyard will unfurl its hidden flavors over many years to come.
