Vineyards

Terra Bella Vineyard, mostly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, is located in the coastal mountains west of the city of Paso Robles. This site is the second highest westside vineyard in Paso Robles at 1960 feet. You will find it off Bear Valley Road, which is appropriate, not only because black bears used to roam the forests out there, but also because farming this vineyard is a “bear” due to its steep south westerly slopes.

The quality of Terra Bella is rooted in the conditions of the Adelaida District, which include rocky limestone-rich soils and a moderate marine climate that promotes balanced ripening. The slopes ensure excellent drainage, which limits vine vigor. The clusters and grapes are always small, which translates to dark color and intense flavors.

Huerhuero Vineyard, adjacent to Huerhuero Creek just southeast of Paso Robles, is planted in the transitional hilly terrain at an elevation between 830–1,030 ft. and spreading into both the El Pomar and Geneseo sub-AVA. This location is a crossroads for marine air entering the region from both the Templeton Gap and Salinas Valley.

The soils consist of gravelly calcareous subsoils–a well-drained composition that naturally tames vine vigor. The climate and limiting soils yield balanced structured wines with varietally expressive fruit.

Further north of Jardine Vineyard, set in the low rolling hills of San Miguel, lies Pleasant Valley. This prime viticultural land lies above the valley floor, where one can see acres of well tended, emerald green vines.

With its Arbuckle-San Ysidro and Nacimiento-Los Osos complex soils and favorable eastside climate, it is ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
