The grapes for this wine come from the best vineyard lots on our estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated at 1,000-foot elevation on an alluvial shelf, this vineyard is comprised of extremely porous, gravely soil from sedimentary oceanic rocks containing limestone and shale, ideal for growing our Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec for Lineage because of its permeable qualities. During the growing season, the fog sits right on top of our vineyards, creating desirable, cool foggy morning weather, with diurnal temperature swings of 50 degrees.
