This wine is a blend of our two estate Sta. Rita Hills vineyards: John Sebastiano and Peake Ranch. There is a contrast between the terroir of the two vineyards that we think is representative of not just our vineyards and quality, but of the Sta. Rita Hills as a whole. Peake Ranch, on the south side, is more protected from the wind and comprised of clay and river stone, while JSV is steep, wind-struck and primarily comprised of loam and sand. In addition, there are a half-dozen different clonal varieties (115, 667, 777, Pommard, Hyde, and Calera) that add even more complexity and diversity to this wine.
