Why we stopped irrigating, and what it cost us
Three dry years taught us more about this hillside than the twenty before them.

Sonoma County · Estate grown since 1978
Wine made slowly,
from one hillside.
Forty acres of dry-farmed cabernet and chardonnay above the Russian River. Tastings by reservation, seven days a week.
Our Philosophy
We farm one hillside and we have never bought a grape. Some years that means less wine than we would like. Every year it means the bottle tells you exactly where it came from.
— Elena Marchetti, Winemaker

The Estate
The Land
Forty acres on a west-facing slope of decomposed shale, planted between 1978 and 1994. Thin soil and no irrigation mean small berries, deep colour, and yields that would make an accountant nervous.
The Farming
Dry-farmed and certified organic since 2006. We cover-crop between rows, run sheep through in winter, and pick by hand in the cool hours before sunrise.
The Cellar
Native fermentation in concrete and neutral oak. Minimal handling, no fining, light filtration only when the wine asks for it. The cellar is eleven degrees year-round without help.
Come Taste With Us
The terrace is open daily, the dog is friendly, and the last tasting sits at four.
