Overview: The grapes are grown on the benches and foothill vineyards in premier vineyards in Rutherford. The deep and well-drained soils are primarily gravel, sand, and loam.

Put to barrel on full fermentation lees for malolactic fermentation with racking every four months. Total 18 months aging, in French Oak (75% new).
