Cabernet Sauvignon Thrives in J. Lohr's Paso Robles Vineyards On
Cabernet sauvignon thrives in J. Lohr’s Paso Robles vineyards on the Estrella plateau on the east side of Highway 101. aso Robles may be America’s most dynamic wine region - and its most diverse. Splendid old-vine zinfandel, ageworthy and elegant cabernet Psauvignon, spicy yet supple pinot noir, and almost any white or red variety, from pinot grigio to petite syrah, are made here. World-class bottlings of viognier, roussanne, marsanne, syrah, grenache, and mourvèdre, either as beautifully inte- grated blends or as stand-alone varietals, proudly bear the Paso Robles name. Central to the region’s dynamism is an environment that is ideal for growing quality grapes and a core of talented producers, winemakers, and growers who have been attracted by the promise of Paso Robles. Discovering Paso Robles Although many wine lovers have discovered the charms of the area’s wines, it remains unknown to some and few would be able to place Paso Robles (“pass of the oaks” in Spanish) on a map of California. The town is located roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA), a heptagon- shaped area of more than 650,000 acres, covers much of northern San Luis Obispo County. Within this vast expanse are at least eight distinct subregions: the most important are the “Estrella Triangle” or plateau on the east side of Highway 101, the old- vine vineyards near Templeton established by Italian immigrants in the 1920s, and the Adelaida hills area near the western border of the AVA, west of the town of Paso Robles. -

Geologic Map of the Northwestern Caliente Range, San Luis Obispo County, California

Alan Bartowl Open-File Report 88-691 This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Any use of trade names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by USGS 'Menlo Park, CA 1988 it nedelitil Sow( diSti) DISCUSSION INTRODUCTION The map area lies in the southern Coast Ranges of California, north of the Transverse Ranges and west of the southern San Joaquin Valley. This region is part of the Salinia-Tujunga composite terrane that is bounded on the northeast by the San Andreas fault (fig. 1) and on the southwest by the Nacimiento fault zone (Vedder and others, 1983). The Chimineas fault of this map is inferred to be the boundary between the Salinia and the Tujunga terranes (Ross, 1972; Vedder and others, 1983). Geologic mapping in the region of the California Coast Ranges that includes the area of this map has been largely the work of T.W. Dibblee, Jr. Compilations of geologic mapping at a scale of 1:125,000 (Dibblee, 1962, 1973a) provide the regional setting for this map, the northeast border of which lies about 6 to 7 km southwest of the San Andreas fault. Ross (1972) mapped the crystalline basement rocks in the vicinity of Barrett Creek, along the northeast side of the Chimineas fault ("Barrett Ridge" of Ross, 1972). -

Paso, as it is affectionately referred to as, is located in California’s Central Coast Region. The Paso Robles AVA is three times the size of the Napa Valley appellation, boasting over 200 wineries spread across more than 614,000 acres. The California Central Coast region benefits from its proximity to major cities, and is almost equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Further, The Paso Robles AVA has not been affected by recent wildfires or the smoke hazards that have currently afflicted the Sonoma and Napa areas which have recently, unfortunately, experienced overwhelming damage. Paso Robles is well positioned for future fire seasons and has a higher degree of land remaining unphased as it is located far from historical fire outbreaks. Due to its optimal location, Paso Robles is a strong investment alternative for Napa-Sonoma wine growers who have been plagued by frequent and devastating wildfires helping to mitigate future risks. 310±The AC VineyardWinery with Turnkey& Vineyard Winery & 1172 SAN MARCOS ROAD 45,000± SF Production Facility PASO ROBLES, CA This offering represents an outstanding opportunity to purchase a turnkey winery with significant production abilities together with a host of commercial-grade winemaking equipment – perfect for a savvy investor with vino on the mind or an established business looking to expand into a rapidly growing wine region. -

Abies Bracteata Revised 2011 1 Abies Bracteata (D. Don) Poit
Lead Forest: Los Padres National Forest Forest Service Endemic: No Abies bracteata (D. Don) Poit. (bristlecone fir) Known Potential Synonym: Abies venusta (Douglas ex Hook.) K. Koch; Pinus bracteata D. Don; Pinus venusta Douglas ex Hook (Tropicos 2011). Table 1. Legal or Protection Status (CNDDB 2011, CNPS 2011, and Other Sources). Federal Listing Status; State Heritage Rank California Rare Other Lists Listing Status Plant Rank None; None G2/S2.3 1B.3 USFS Sensitive Plant description: Abies bracteata (Pinaceae) (Fig. 1) is a perennial monoecious plant with trunks longer than 55 m and less than 1.3 m wide. The branches are more-or-less drooping, and the bark is thin. The twigs are glabrous, and the buds are 1-2.5 cm long, sharp-pointed, and non- resinous. The leaves are less than 6 cm long, are dark green, faintly grooved on their upper surfaces, and have tips that are sharply spiny. Seed cones are less than 9 cm long with stalks that are under15 mm long. The cones have bracts that are spreading, exserted, and that are 1.5–4.5 cm long with a slender spine at the apex. Taxonomy: Abies bracteata is a fir species and a member of the pine family (Pinaceae). Out of the fir species growing in North America (Griffin and Critchfield 1976), Abies bracteata has the smallest range and is the least abundant. Identification: Many features of A. bracteata can be used to distinguish this species from other conifers, including the sharp-tipped needles, thin bark, club-shaped crown, non-resinous buds, and exserted spine tipped bracts (Gymnosperms Database 2010).
