‘This is...stunning. Can I say that? I am absorbed by the complexity of aromas and I don’t want to have to describe them all. It just wafts out of the glass at me, beckoning, go ahead take another sip. This is finely structured and manages to have both a commanding presence and a tender delicacy. It is a classic.’

Quarter Mile Lane Vineyard
“I remember the first time I walked through Quarter Mile with David [Adelsheim]. He was peeling moss off the vines as he was guiding me through the vineyard.”
First planted in 1972, Quarter Mile Lane is our oldest vineyard. This 14.83 acre site sits south-facing at up to 680 feet above sea level. Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes are grown in volcanic soil at this site that is also the home of our founder, David Adelsheim!
