Cameron and Bridgit Thieriot, Max’s parents, purchased their vineyard and property in 1988. In 1989, the late Warren Dutton of Dutton Ranch planted the vineyard's first part. Over the years, the grapes from these blocks have been sold to top regional producers. Vintage after vintage, this vineyard consistently produces high-scoring single vineyard wines and is renowned as one of the Sonoma Coast's premier vineyards. The healthy, mature vines thrive in the warm microclimate, 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 and concentrated flavours superbly balanced by natural, crisp freshness. The vines are sustainably cultivated and manually harvested.
