ROMAS VINEYARD

A six (6) acre vineyard that pushes the vines to the limit; situated 1800 feet above the town of Boonville, California you’ll find our Romas Vineyard. A sight to be seen from the mountaintop, the vineyard offers a spectacular 360 degree view of Anderson Valley, a unique perspective for overseeing our Pinot Noir grapes throughout the growing season.

Planted exclusively to Pinot Noir in 1992, these low yielding vines are located on an exposed ridge influenced by cold pacific breezes, sustainable farming practices and thorough pruning ensure ideal cluster development. Our dry farming practices in the vineyard provide us with just another reason to be in the vineyard – staying true to our vineyard first approach. One thing we have be able to count on is our Romas Vineyard consistently yielding highly aromatic, elegant and age worthy Pinot Noir.
