The Lester Family Vineyared was planted in the rolling hills of Corralitos about three miles from Monterey Bay. The sun which bathes this south-facing slope is moderated by the cooling air and fog from the Monterey Bay just a few miles away. This microclimate is ideal for producing Pinot Noir which expresses transparency to site and impeccable balance at naturally low alcohol levels. Vineyard Manager Prudy Fox farms the vines meticulously by hand. Deficit irrigation and the nutrient poor sandy clay loam soils result in naturally low yields of about two tons an acre.
