A WARM MICROCLIMATE YIELDS VELVETY TANNINS
North-facing Red Rock Terrace is a steeply terraced vineyard. The rocky, red-tinted soil is high in oxidized iron content, and because of its northerly aspect, the grapes receive less direct sunlight.
Microclimate: Warm
Elevation: 530-600 ft
Soils: Rocky, red soils; high in iron
Aspect: North-facing
