Amber Ridge Vineyard

Situated in the upper Middle Reach area of the northern Russian River Valley, Amber Ridge is a pedigreed vineyard that has brought forth many famous single-vineyard Pinot Noirs. Located off Starr Road, 22 acres of rolling terrain were planted to Pinot Noir on bilateral vertical trellising. The clonal mix includes Pommard 5, Calera and Dijon clones 115, 667 and 777 using 101-14 rootstock to limit vigor. The Huichica soil series in the vineyard consist of moderately well-drained loam with clay subsoils, mixed sedimentary rock and volcanic ash. Amber Ridge Vineyard produces a distinctive wine with a medley of ripe, dark fruit, earthy cherry and wild berry notes supported by a dense midpalate.
