Split Rock Vineyard
Split Rock is located in the Sonoma Coast growing region on the west
side of Sonoma Mountain. Its rocky soils combine with winds from the
Petaluma Gap to create a challenging growing environment, but one that
consistently produces great fruit. Most of the vineyard has optimal
southwest exposure and is densely planted with over 2000 vines per
acre. Chardonnay, clones 95 and 76 are blended to create a
complex, complete wine with concentrated fruit and excellent natural
acidity.
Knights Bridge Vineyard
Bridging the counties of Sonoma and Napa, Knights Bridge Vineyards
are located on the southern boundary of the stunning Knights Valley AVA
of Sonoma County. Rising from 300 to 900 ft in elevation on the rocky
slopes of the Mayacamas mountain range north of Calistoga, Knights
Bridge Vineyards overlook a spectacular display of rolling hills, steep
mountains and gentle valleys. Cool wind from the Pacific blows through
the gap in these mountains, providing the grapes with longer hang time
to develop richer flavors. A combination of
iron-rich and white-ash tufa (calcium carbonate) soils, the terroir of
Knights Bridge, combining the perfect blend of climate and location,
provides an ideal environment for cabernet
sauvignon vines to thrive.
