The Vineyard
First purchased back in the early 1970's, our remote vineyard sites
required years of preparation. Bob Lamborn planted the first vines in 1979
which produced our first vintage in 1982. Situated along the ridgeline at the
2,200 foot level, the deep red volcanic loam provides mineral rich and nutrient
poor soils, ideal for red grape varietals. With a mere eight acres under
cultivation, we have the distinct luxury of watching each and every vine, week
in and week out. This intense "child care" lets us make needed
adjustments vine by vine to assure our vineyard produces the very best grapes
possible. Sustainable agricultural practices and organically registered
products are employed to further the health of the vineyard and positively
impact fruit quality.
