| The Vineyards have grown since 1999, and include two clones of Syrah, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Alberanio. The vines are trained to a Smart-Dyson trellis system, allowing for plenty of light and airflow on the fruit during the growing season. In the summer of 2002, Richard Smart, the World-renowned expert on canopy management, brought the Cal Poly Viticulture class to our vineyards to show how his trellis system is properly managed. This system of canopy management is a major factor in the quality of the fruit and wines. In 2005, we have plans to plant new clones of Syrah and Pinot Noir. |
