The legendary Los Chamizal vineyard
spans the mountainside in the southern end of Sonoma Valley, just North the
town of Sonoma. These sustainably farmed vineyards employ permanent cover crops
in addition to organic compost and fertilizer to provide nutrients to the soil
while prohibiting the use of insecticides. Cool breezes from the San Francisco
Bay come up through the Carneros AVA to the south, providing a cooling
nighttime influence for the vineyard. Chamizal is a Spanish word that
translates to “a thicket of hardwood,” accurately describes the rolling
hillside vineyard. This is out inaugural release of Pinot Noir from the Los
