Signs of Spring in the estate vineyards of yesterday, after the rains. Gloria Vineyard, situated next to the winery, was a vision of lush green cover crops, with daikon radish and fava beans flourishing, promoting healthy soil and biodiversity. Yu-Ki Vineyard, near the town of Occidental, sits at 1000 feet in elevation, surrounded by towering redwood trees (Yu-Ki means giant trees). Lastly, we visited the newest site, Ko-Fu, which they’ll start seeing fruit from in four years. Sitting in the proposed Sebastopol Hills AVA, the site is windswept and bathed in fog.

Beautiful spring weather in Sonoma County today ☀️ calls for opening the perfect springtime wine. Pax has been making Chenin Blanc from this mountainous site in Amador County for three years and the 2023 vintage is the best right out of the gate. Mouthwatering acidity helps balance exotic fruit flavors and minerality from growing in iron rich soils. Bravo ! 2023 Pax Chenin Blanc, Lyman Ranch. Available in April, come and get it!!
