Situated between Santa Rosa & Sweeney Roads, this is one of the few areas in the Sta. Rita Hills where the botella clay loam is exposed, along with the diatomaceous earth, and Monterey shale, producing crisp and distinct minerality. These 12 acres of Pinot Noir consist of Dijon 115 clone.

Some influences are apparent on the surface, such as Mark’s decision to switch pruning styles to cordon, which produces much smaller, even clusters at their vineyards than the traditional cane pruning.
