ABOUT THIS WINE

A brand new set of three vineyard sources for the 2019 vintage all coming from the southern end of Sonoma County in the Petaluma Gap and Sonoma-Carneros AVA’s. Brooklime vineyard is planted to clones 667 and 777 and located in George Ranch on the Sonoma Mountain ridgeline overlooking both the towns of Sonoma and Petaluma.
