Mark and TheresaMark and Theresa Malpiede established the estate in 2003 with a focus on the specific block-level character of their RRV vineyard sources — producing single-vineyard and single-block expressions in tiny quantities that honour what the Sebastopol side of the Russian River Valley fog belt consistently produces in California's greatest cool-climate varieties.
✓
The Sebastopol endThe Sebastopol end of the Russian River Valley — west and south of the Healdsburg corridor that captures most critical attention — produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of particular delicacy, fog influence, and mineral precision that the corridor's more inland expressions rarely achieve.
