    • Vineyard Information

      Located in the Los Carneros AVA of the Napa Valley, the Brown Ranch Vineyard benefits greatly from its incredible location covering a 90 square mile area just north of the San Pablo Bay. Carneros is defined by the bay’s cooling morning fog and the geological aspects of its soils. The AVA varies slightly in elevation with the highest vineyards in the foothills reaching around 400ft above sea level. Brown Ranch is located on a hill side in a slightly warmer area of Carneros which causes the morning fogs to burn off quicker leading to longer periods of daytime warmth, perfect for our desired style of Pinot Noir. Dominated by lighter, clay loam soils, that tend to be less dense than other areas in Carneros. Brown Ranch provides great growing conditions that promotes proper vine stress and encourages more concentrated grapes of the highest quality!
