In the winter of 2007, we were approached by Tom and Jan Davidson who
own a beautifully situated property nested between Lafond and Ampelos
that had yet to be developed. Thrilled at the prospect of working there
with them, we swiftly penned a land lease arrangement and set forth on
our first vineyard planting.
The primary emphasis of the predominantly-sandy ten-acre vineyard is
chardonnay, with equal amounts of five clones planted (4, 76, Hyde, Mount
Eden and Sea Smoke Wente). In addition to chardonnay, there is a smaller
field of pinot noir planted to Swan, Pommard, 667 and 828 clones.
