Our second coolest microclimate is our five-acre Gravelly Meadow vineyard.  Originally a prehistoric river bed, this stony, gravelly soil drains rapidly and the vines struggle for moisture. 

Gravelly Meadow is our lowest yielding vineyard.  The wines are described as “earthy, cedary, jammy and ripe blackberry with a spicy expansive finish.”

The 1996 vintage was a top pick of the 1999 Wine Spectator with these words:  “…  serving up the clay tinged currant, plum and wild berry flavors before the tannins flex their muscles.”
