About the Wine
I took on this 15 year old vineyard in 2022, and have been self farming it ever since, carefully implementing regenerative practices like grazing sheep and biochar. There are only 2 acres of vines planted on the property, in the remote Lovall Valley; a largely hidden enclave just minutes from the Sonoma Plaza. This unique hilltop bowl straddles the border of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Here, fog from nearby San Pablo Bay settles into Lovall Valley’s unique contours, from early evening through midday, making it one of Napa Valley’s coolest regions.
