SITE
perched on the second ridge from the pacific ocean, a mere 3.5 miles from the sea. elevation of 1100-1400 feet on california's most active seismic fault (the san andreas). soil composed of complex calcareous seabed material. widely considered as the epicenter of extreme coastal pinot noir. impeccably farmed by the enigmatic, trail-breaking david hirsch.
