Our Poet’s Peak wine is sourced from high-elevation vineyards in the Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak appellation that straddles both Sonoma County and Lake County – appellations at the untamed edges that see more wildlife visitors than humans. The Pine Mountain-Cloverdale AVA is the second newest in California, established in 2011.  Conditions here are tough for the vines with thin topsoil that forces the roots to burrow deep into the rock to search for water and nutrient producing wines rich in character, complexity and elegance. The area offers an unusual shift in climate with cooler days and evening fog that pushes warmer air up to the vineyard at night.
