High Elevation Lake County | “The Grapes don’t know which county they are in”
The grapes were sourced from the Diamond Mine Vineyard site on our ranch. This site is named for the “Lake County Diamonds,” small volcanic-made pieces of quartz that litter the ground and glimmer in the sunlight. The vineyard sits at 1,700 ft. elevation and is surrounded by an untouched landscape.
The Mayacamas Mountains, create the western ridge of Napa Valley. Yet also continuing up into Lake County. Here the same red volcanic soils prized in Napa are prevalent. As one Lake County winemaker recently told Esther Mobley of the San Francisco Chronicle: “The grapes don’t know which county they’re in.”
