Winery	The fruit comes exclusively from the two estate vineyards in the cool-climate area of Sta. Rita Hills AVA: the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard and the La Rinconada Vineyard. The unusual east-west orientation of the nearby Santa Ynez Mountains allows cooling maritime breezes from the Pacific Ocean- just seven miles away- to flow over the vineyards, bringing morning fog. Afternoon breezes dry out residual moisture and reduce disease pressure on the vines and clusters. This distinctive microclimate promotes a long growing season. The vineyard is split into 52 blocks, each with an individual soil composition and microclimate. Broadly, the marine-based soils in the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard are a mixture of clay, loam, fractured shale, and cher(rocky soil), which force the vine roots to dig deep into the soil for nutrients and hydration. The result is naturally low yields of small-berried, concentrated fruit delivering excellent minerality and acidity. The La Rinconada Vineyard is made up of sandy, gravelly soil, which imparts precise minerality.
