From the north-facing, steeply terraced 7-acre Red Rock Terrace vineyard—elevated to 600 feet with distinctive iron-rich red rocky soils—this wine receives hand-harvest, stainless fermentation and 22 months in 100% new French oak. The site's warmer microclimate despite northern exposure yields savory depth contrasting the estate's Gravelly Meadow, pioneering single-vineyard terroir expression since 1968.
