Redwoods thrive in a very rare for the area mix of Sonoma volcanics and limestone Athearn Estate-Bottled since 1988. Located on the eastern flank bench of Sonoma Mountain where redwoods thrive in a very rare for the area mix of Sonoma volcanics and limestone. Produces one of our more elegantly scented Chardonnays, perfumed by delicate morning floral and citrus blossom aromas, leading to a chalk like, subtle, ethereal core of fruit and lovely acidity.

Marine loam threaded with cobblestone soils Bottled since 2002. Located directly across from our Durell block, on the same marine loam threaded with cobblestone soils, but planted on a different rootstock. The Stone flat provides a leaner cut look at the same site. The two wines side by side make for a thought-provoking comparison. Produces a wine that strikes an impeccable balance between its minerality, its green orchard fruit reminiscent core and its silken, persistent finish.

Sand driven Gold Ridge soil. Bottled since 1979. Located in the heart of where the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations intersect and planted in the sand driven Gold Ridge soil series. We’ve been lucky to have worked with the Dutton family since nearly our inception. A Chardonnay of precision, with focused, structural acids threaded through a body of delicate orchard fruit tones topped by soil driven aromatics
