In between the steep drainages winding up from Green Valley and the the foggy forests stretching down to the Pacific, sits the Occidental Ridge. Â Where the ridge begins falling to the southwest slope, above the town of Occidental, is Lancel Creek vineyard. Â This small planting of Pommard and 777 clones produces some of the most distinctive Pinot Noir's in the region. Â Lancel creek features Gold ridge soils - low in nutrients and world renowned for Pinot Noir cultivation. Â Cold ocean air through the night and morning, Â then afternoon sun, give our Lancel Creek offering the deep structure distinct tannins of a truly coastal Sonoma County Pinot. Â The vineyard is farmed by Ulises Valdez and our production averages 80 - 100 cases per vintage.
