Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
The vineyard stretches across ten acres, delicately tracing the slope above Atascadero Creek in the hills just south of Sebastopol. It is tucked away in the southwest corner of the Russian River Valley, where the sandy blond soil known as Goldridge is plentiful. This coveted soil is all that’s left of an ancient inland sea that existed five million years ago. Today, this distinctive soil is renowned for its impact on the Pinot Noir grapes of Sonoma County.
