Windmill Hill 3

Block Name: First Light

Variety: Pinot Noir

Clone: Dijon 667 and 777

Year Planted: 2000

Trellis Type: Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP)

Acres: 5.48

Soil: Volcanic

Fun Fact: Up here at 600 feet in elevation, the vines struggle more to get resources and water from the volcanic soil. We see smaller berries on the grape clusters, which provide greater intensity in the wines.
