Rattlesnake Hills AVA vineyard profile

Our Malbec vines span nearly nine acres across five clones, planted in 2010–19 in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA

The vineyard sits on broken basalt and silt loam, helping us grow resilient vines with excellent concentration. 

With 8×5 spacing, we limit yield per vine while maintaining strong production per acre. All canopy work—from pruning to leafing to harvest—is done by hand to ensure quality from start to finish.

“We’ve produced several award-winning wines from their grapes.”

Their prices are very reasonable compared to bigger name vineyards, yet the farming practices and fruit quality are absolutely on par with the best in the state. You get premium fruit without the premium price tag.
