Spring Hill Ranch

Vineyard Name:  Spring Hill Ranch

Location:  3 miles due west of Downtown Petaluma

Owner:  Cabell Coursey

Varietals: Pinot Noir

Elevation:   450-475ft

Soil:  Gravely Loam

Why we like Cabell:   

Cabell purchased the vineyard from Karen London in 2017.  Karen had planted and farmed the vineyard since 2005.   Cabell has picked up the tradition of low yield farming that translates into complex wines.

Why we like the vineyard:

Being in the heart of the Petaluma Gap, the wind is key on this property.  There is always a nice breeze and a lot of sun on the flat, gently sloping property.  The UV and wind keep the berries small and the skins thick, creating some of our most complex Pinots with fine tannis.

Animal Friends:

None other than a herd of Scottish Highland and Waygu cattle, and some chickens and roosters that roam free.
