WINEMAKER'S NOTE
This estate vineyard is on our steepest slope. It is a selection of our favorite barrels from the vineyard. We began planting the Jessie vineyard in 1994 at a density of 2300 vines per acre. Today this vineyard consists of Dijon Clones 113,114,115,667 and 777 as well as the Pommard clone. The site has an east, southeast slope and is comprised primarily of Nikia soil, which is volcanic in origin.
