Growing Conditions
The grapes for this wine come exclusively from our Mary’s Vineyard in Calistoga, our first vineyard named for a family member. When we purchased it, it was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, which we replanted to two clones of Sauvignon Blanc in the 1990s: Clone 1, for its structure and palate, and Musqué, for its aromatics and flavors. These vines are among the oldest plantings of Sauvignon Blanc in Napa Valley, and are certified organic, dry farmed and low yielding (approximately 2.5 acres/ton), and offer a beautiful expression of old-vine Sauvignon Blanc: vibrant, aromatic, concentrated and complex.
