The Estate was founded by Bob and Renée Stein in 1992. Of the property’s 710 acres, approximately 350 acres are dedicated to open space and classified as “Forever Wild” under an agreement with the Sonoma County Open Space District. The Estate spans two world-class viticultural areas: the Chalk Hill appellation, with its ashy volcanic soils suited perfectly for Bordeaux varietals, and the ancient river bed of the Russian River appellation, ideal for Burgundian varietals. The vineyards are planted to 16 varietals. Wine club members can enjoy hikes on trails that wind through the 250 acres of vineyard and 350 acres of open space. At the highest point on the property there are sweeping views to the east to the mountains above St. Helena and to the west as far as the Pacific Ocean.
