Six Sigma Winery

The grapes for this wine were grown in Michael’s Vineyard, a twelve-acre plot located at the entrance of our ranch. Temperatures in the valley can change by as much as fifty degrees in one day, preserving the natural acids of the grapes while developing rich fruit flavors. The gently sloping hills of this site contain a complex mix of soils and aspects. Sheep graze in the vineyards helping us compost the permanent cover crop. This wine was made predominantly of fruit from blocks 1, 3 and 4 with a few tons from block 2 thrown in for good measure (the rest of block 2 went to the reserve Sauvignon Blanc). The grapes were 100% machine harvested on August 30, 2019 and the high quality is a testament to the value of machine harvesting for us and the Cali­fornia wine industry.
