  • Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: a Bucket List
    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 12, Issue 8 August 19, 2020 Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: A Bucket List “Vine age is the key to balance. There’s no substitute for vine age.” Ted Lemon, Littorai There is no consensus or legal definition of “old vine” Pinot Noir. Wikipedia states, “In a place where wine production is longstanding, it often means a wine whose vines are thirty to forty years old.” I have used forty years (1980) as the cut-off for my California old vine Pinot Noir bucket list. Some would consider these “mature” vines only, insisting that the term “old” be reserved for vines older than this such as 125-year-old Zinfandel vines in California that are still bearing small amounts of fruit. Hanzell 1953 Ambassador’s Vineyard Pinot Noir Vine The term “old-vine” has created debate for years in the wine industry. Most winemakers believe the terminology should be defined and regulated. Some choose to define “old-vine” as a minimum of 20 years and others prefer 50 years as a minimum. There are also disagreements about the percentage of grapes that should be required in a wine labeled “old-vine.” Some winemakers would agree that “old-vine” grapes should make up at least 85% of the grapes contained in a wine sold as “old-vine,” and others demand that 95% of the grapes be from “old-vine” sources. There are variances to consider among different varietals as well. For example, Pinot Noir vineyards over 20 years are considered old, yet Zinfandel from a 20 year-old vineyard would not be labeled “old-vine.” The issue of “old-vines” results from the perception by many consumers who consider “old-vine” wines better.

    Family-Owned, Estate-Driven Wines icky and Gaby Hahn first came to California's Monterey NCounty in the mid 1970s. The Swiss-born couple with a passion for wine quickly recognized that this mountainous region had every element vital to growing premium wine grapes: alluvial soils that provide excellent drainage, plenty of sunshine to develop rich, ripe fruit, and enough fog and wind to keep grape acids in perfect harmony. PIONEERS in the From the start, Nicky realized the area’s potential as a world-class wine SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS growing region and committed himself to producing distinctive wines worthy of competition on a global scale. The family started investing in the land, building the winery, and planting grapes in their first two of six estate vineyards: Smith and Hook. In 1980, the grapes grown on the hillside vineyards surrounding the winery became the Hahn’s first vintage of commercially available wine. Later in the 1980s, Nicky furthered his commitment to quality by driving efforts to establish the Santa Lucia Highlands as its own AVA. ESTABLISHING AN AVA In 1988, Nicky began the multi-year process of defining the unique attributes and boundaries of the Santa Lucia Highlands. In 1991, the hard work paid off when the region was recognized as an official American Viticulture Area (AVA). Today, Hahn Estate is one of a select few of the region’s more than 50 family land owners who farm and produce wine right here in the Santa Lucia Highlands. A SHIF T TO COOL-CLIMATE VARIETALS Never resting on their laurels, throughout the 1990s the Hahns continued to innovate and invest in their vineyards and winemaking facility.

  • At J. Lohr's New Facility in Monterey's Arroyo Seco Ava, Kristen Barnhisel Crafts White Wines with Passion and Precision

ARROYO SECO AVA, KRISTEN BARNHISEL CRAFTS WHITE WINES WITH PASSION AND PRECISION Balancing Act 4 / the tasting panel / april 2018 TP0418_001-31_KNV2.indd 4 3/21/18 1:39 PM by David Gadd / photos by Jeremy Ball A WINERY TOUR WITH Kristen Barnhisel, It was only after a ten-year search that pioneer vintner Jerry THE CHARISMATIC Lohr came to Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco back in 1972. With WINEMAKER BEHIND J. LOHR’S uncanny prescience, Lohr recognized that this beautiful, broad Central WHITE WINE PORTFOLIO Coast valley, spread between the Santa Lucia Range to the west and the Gabilan Range to the east, would be ideal white wine terroir. Arroyo Seco takes its name from the usually-dry bed of a stream that originates in the Santa Lucias and runs northeastward to join the Salinas River, which eventually empties into Monterey Bay. Captivated by this dramatic location and its attributes, Lohr planted 280 acres of vines in Greenfield. The locale was in the heart of what would eventually—thanks to Lohr’s and others’ efforts—become the Arroyo Seco AVA in 1983. The region owes its long growing season to lingering fog and a cooling “wind run” from nearby Monterey Bay; the stony, well-drained soils and lack of rain during the fall season prove ideal for Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and, especially, Chardonnay. For three decades now, the original Greenfield plantings have provided the fruit for the value-driven J.

  • Our Vineyards
    WINES CRAFTED WITH CARE FROM MONTEREY COUNTY’S RENOWNED ARROYO SECO VINEYARDS GRAPE GROWING PIONEERS The Zaninovich family has deep farming roots, spanning nearly a century. In the early 1970’s, we were captivated by the raw beauty and exceptional potential of the undiscovered Arroyo Seco wine region in Monterey County. Today this area has emerged as one of California’s most celebrated wine growing regions, and among the most breathtaking. LOVE OF THE LAND We are inspired by the legacy of John Muir, who sought to preserve the wilderness for future generations. With four generations of California farming in harmony with nature, we have great respect for this land we call home. Like John Muir, we take a long-term perspective. We believe in nurturing the land so that it may bear fruit for generations to come. THE ARROYO SECO, A WORLD CLASS GROWING AREA Located southeast of the Monterey Bay in the valley adjacent to the Arroyo Seco Creek , we’re lucky to enjoy a unique combination of growing conditions and soils which create grapes with character and flavor. We get a richness and quality of grapes that you don’t find anywhere else. OUR VINEYARDS Seeing potential early on, we Our naturally formed established vineyards in dierent granite cobblestones, growing areas of the Arroyo Seco AVA, known locally as starting in 1971 with Suter, our home “Greenfield Potatoes,” ranch, Zanetta in 1988 and Wiley are part of what make Ranch in 1998. Each vineyard, down our vines dig deep for to individual vineyard blocks, possess water and nutrients, for distinctive microclimate and soils.
