2018 Reserve Petit Verdot

Planted along the southern bank of the Arroyo Mocho Creek, our Ranch Creek Vineyard has well-drained gravelly silt loam derived from river sediments. Here, the vines are naturally stressed from the gravelly loam that encourages deep root growth resulting in complex flavor development in the fruit. The vineyard’s north-south orientation allows the vines to savor hours of warm sunshine during the long growing season as well as the cooling evening breezes from the San Francisco Bay.
