This is the highest elevation vineyard on our Estate which can been seen from Westside Rd., if you look above the Fiona Hill as you cross Porter Creek. It was planted shortly after our family purchased the property in 1979. The combination of shallow top soil, very low yields and old vines produce a very mineral driven and textured Chardonnay. The average annual production is about 120 cases.

In the spirit of its northern Rhone counterparts in Condrieu, this wine possesses a weight and richness, yet restraint rarely found in New World Viognier. Subtle nuances of mango, pear and nectar. Balanced, round and capable of aging. While we have been making Viognier nearly 20 years this bottling is our first estate bottled, single vineyard Viognier, planted using cuttings from our historic source, Timbervine Ranch.

This is our flag ship Pinot Noir which comes from the steep hillside vineyard situated along Westside Road at the entrance of Porter Creek, which has ideal southern face. Hard clay top soil with a fractured stone bedrock place continual stress on these vines, resulting in a very expressive, unique vineyard designate wine. The nose has aromas of wild berries and forest floor, a weighty mid-palate and long silky finish.

This wine is a special selection, produced from within the “Fiona Hill Vineyard”. We typically harvest this vineyard is 6-8 different sections and keep them separated until a selection of just one or even part of one of these lots is selected in the spring following harvest. The Winegrower’s Reserve is generally the richest of our Pinot Noirs, with a nice balance of red and dark fruit and age worthy tannins. Annual production is in the 150 case range.

Planted in 1973 and continuously producing with many of the original vines, this is among the oldest Pinot Noir vineyards in the Russian River Valley. Rather than replanting the aging parcel, we have revitalized it with clever interplanting, vine-by-vine replanting and soil improvement work. Aromatically it leans in the red fruit and rose petal spectrum, with just a little dark red fruit in the background giving some palette weight. The old vines give powerful yet amazingly silky tannins. Many of the past bottling are still drinking well with 20 years or so of age on them.

Carignane is a red varietal that was widely planted in California during the late 1800’s though the mid- 1900’s, mostly by Italian immigrants, and some of the old vineyards are still producing. Ours comes from a vineyard planted in 1939, and yields a wine that is remarkably rich and generous, yet supple and silky. There is a unique fruit profile of black currants, plums and spice.
