Mon Trajet

Over the past several years, we searched for an appellation with the soil and climate conditions that could produce the fruit we needed. We settled on the Sta. Rita Hills AVA (Santa Ynez valley) in northwestern Santa Barbara County. We knew the limestone deposits in the soil and the influence of the Pacific Ocean were ideal; we contracted with Bentrock Vineyard (clones 76 & 95), owned by the Screaming Eagle partners.
