Cameron and Bridgit Thieriot, Max’s parents, purchased their vineyard and property in 1988. In 1989, the first part of the vineyard was planted by the late Warren Dutton of Dutton Ranch. Over the years, the grapes from these blocks have been sold to top-class producers in the region. Vintage after vintage, this vineyard consistently produces high-scoring single vineyard wines and is renowned as being one of the premier
vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. The healthy, mature vines thrive in the warm microclimate, which is tempered by the cool, coastal breezes and the trademark fog that lingers over the vineyards, bringing moisture and cooling the vines. The result is a long hang-time, during which the vines slowly build aromatic complexity, with concentrated flavours superbly balanced by natural, crisp freshness. The vines are sustainably cultivated and manually harvested.
