This is our first time vineyard designating the wine from this vineyard from Peter Cargasacchi. A naturally low yielding year, a ton an acre at per acre prices...luckily for you I did not pass on the increase. The 115 clone (he believes this is the true, best pinot clone), but do not let him decide for you; you decide. Fermented on native yeast for 18 months, 75% new French oak.

Kathy Joseph's Fiddlestix vineyard is the 10-year-old vineyard located across the street from the Talinda Oaks vineyard where my section of Sanford and Benedict is located. Her 5 pommard clone is immaculate as she delivers the best fruit every year. My section is a very steep hill, where the roots have great drainage, so they struggle giving us great concentrated fruit. Fermented on native yeast for 18 months on 50% new French oak.

We are fortunate to be able to get fruit from this amazing vineyard, where winemaker Greg Brewer makes life-changing wines. Changed our lives, convinced us to stay in the Central Coast, where Melville vineyard is the perfect example why Santa Rita Hills deserves its own appellation. A blend of clones 115 and Mt Eden, aged for 18 months in 60% new French Oak. Not a fruit bomb, the feminine of all the wines.

Cropped at just over two tons to the acre, this vineyard is California sprawl at its best, makes better wine than it looks. This is the oldest vineyard of the four, delivering great fruit in 2004. Fermented on native yeast, aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak.
