2025 Lolonis Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Redwood Valley

This historic Prohibition-era ranch boasts some of the oldest
known Vitis vinifera plantings in California. The Sauvignon Blanc
+ Sémillon vines were planted in 1942, and the Wente
Chardonnay in the early 70s. The vines are dry-farmed on red
clay soils strewn with fist-sized rocks at 800-900 ft elevation.
Extreme diurnal shift necessitates longer hang times (and a
steady temperament). Vineyard is overseen by Denise & Athan
Poulos + their star viticulturalist Scott Knippelmeir.
