At roughly 850 feet of elevation, the family-owned Pigasus vineyard sits in both the Bennet Valley (southeast end) and Sonoma Mountain (western end) AVAs. The 10-acre site is a beautiful rolling hillside plot on mostly volcanic soil. The climate is ideal, with warm days and cooling afternoon ocean breezes that allow for longer hang-time and strong flavor development. The vineyard was planted with Merlot clone 181, in 2000.
