"The Russian River Valley is like the Garden of Eden! There is no place like it on earth.

Everything grows well here: trees, flowers, fish, bees, butterflies, jackrabbits — and people. Mother nature simply brings a bounty of life so unique to this region. Blame it on the rare microclimate and the Pacific Coastal moderate temperatures — it’s perfect Chardonnay and Pinot Noir growing conditions.

It's what you can't see that makes this region so spectacular. Where all the raw, earthy elements come together deep in the soil to give the vines flavor and life.

And with more soil types in Russian River Valley than all of France, nearly every vineyard within a few miles produces vastly different flavors. With so many extraordinary sites, it’s like an artist’s palette for a winemaker. Just like my dad’s shop was for him."
