  • Raymond Burr Vineyards ~ 8339 W
    ~ RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS ~ 8339 W. Dry Creek Road Healdsburg ~ California Located in the Dry Creek Valley AVA 5850 Anderson Rd, Forestville, CA 95436 www.bergmanvineyards.com PH: (707) 887-9822; FX: (866) 691-5251 Page 1 of 7 RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS A Historical Perspective It was in the middle 1950’s on the widely acclaimed and successful television program “Perry Mason” that the two actors, Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides first met. Their friendship grew and advanced as their mutual interest in the knowledge of the cultivation and hybridization of orchids developed. Their mutual hobby began to grow in importance to them and the next logical step was to make it into a commercial venture. At the same time, Benevides had become Executive in Charge of Production for Mr. Burr’s very successful and long (8 years) running television series, “Ironside”. The two men purchased an island in Fiji where they raised coconuts and cattle and helped bring up the standard of living for the Fijian people who lived on the island. In 1976, Robert Benevides’ father, attracted by the beauty of the Dry Creek Valley and the special qualities of land with its productive soils, purchased portions of the existing Raymond Burr Vineyard Estate. Years later, Robert and Raymond planted vines on their lovely estate in 1986. Their first wines were made in 1990 under the direction of John Pedroncelli, who together with his brother, Jim, owned the Pedroncelli Winery off Canyon Road. The Raymond Burr label started in 1998. A reasonable price was set for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, and over the years, prices for their Estate wines have remained the same as the original releases.

  • Ridgeline Vineyards
    Ridgeline Vineyard In 2012, after several years of working with its coveted grapes, Decoy acquired the renowned Ridgeline Vineyard property, fulfilling a long-held dream of establishing an Estate program in the Alexander Valley and Sonoma County. The lush, structured Bordeaux-varietal fruit from this storied vineyard has become a central element in our Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and flagship Decoy Red, further enhancing the quality of our wines, and underscoring our belief in the importance of Estate vineyards. Located approximately 90 miles north of San Francisco, Ridgeline Vineyard is situated on Oak Mountain in the Alexander Valley AVA—Sonoma County’s finest appellation for growing Bordeaux grapes. The property consists of 44 unique hillside vineyard blocks, with different soils and elevations (up to nearly 2,000 feet). Though this spectacular mountain vineyard spans more than 400 acres, only 89 acres are under vine. The rest is preserved in its natural state, providing a stunning backdrop to the vine rows. Looming high above Alexander Valley at the north end of the Mayacamas mountain range, Ridgeline primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon and the other Bordeaux red grapes. Originally planted in 1999, the site benefits from an east-west exposure for maximum sunlight, and a north-south vertical axis for ideal drainage. Steep slopes further contribute to drainage, resulting in lower yields and concentrated flavors. These factors, and the site’s primarily Boomer and Sobrante loam soils, threaded with interlacing natural mineral springs, provide remarkable conditions for cultivating red grapes with phenomenal color, flavor and structure. Additionally, while summer daytime temperatures are hot enough to suit heat-loving red grapes, the rapid cooling effect of evening fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean preserves the fresh, enlivening acidity of the fruit as it ripens.

  • 2014 Estate Pinot Noir San Ta C R U Z Mounta Ins
    Few wine regions on earth can match Santa Cruz Mountains’ climates, soils and vertigo inspiring views. Set high in the mountains overlooking California’s Silicon Valley, the Thomas Fogarty Winery has been making single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet from the SCM appellation since 1981. Fogarty’s two estates are divided into micro-vineyards, ranging from .25 to 5.25 acres, based on soil and topography. All are maritime (10-18 miles to Pacific), cool-climate (Regions I and II), high-elevation (1600-2300 feet), low yielding (1-3 tons per acre) and mountainous. The winery was founded by Dr. Thomas Fogarty, a Stanford cardiovascular surgeon and world-renowned inventor. 2014 ESTATE PINOT NOIR SAN TA C R U Z MOUNTA INS VINEYARD TECHNICAL DATA Our Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards from APPELLATION four distinct regions within the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA: the fractured 100% Santa Cruz Mountains shales of our Estate Vineyards high upon Skyline Blvd, coastal W INEGRO WER Corralitos, the cool coastal La Honda region and the Summit Rd area, Nathan Kandler which has the highest elevations in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

  • MODEST REVOLUTIONARIES Experimental Winemakers Duncan Meyers and Nathan Roberts Have Been Friends Since Childhood
    ARNOT-ROBERTS MODEST REVOLUTIONARIES Experimental winemakers Duncan Meyers and Nathan Roberts have been friends since childhood. Adam Lechmere went to California to find out why they’re rapidly garnering a reputation as two of the state’s most exciting winemakers onversations with winemakers often turn to the conundrum of intervention and non-intervention. The American philosopher-turned-winemaker Abe Schoener of the Scholium Project has some interesting things to say on the subject. His basic C premise (he was a teacher and knows how to put ideas across) is that deciding to do nothing is just as much a decision as deciding to do something. When he leaves a barrel of Chardonnay fermenting in the sun for two years, then that is a form of intervention. The wine is always under his control. The same goes for vineyards. Any good modern winemaker will spend many hours, at all seasons, kicking dirt, talking trellising and cover crops with the vineyard manager. “To make good wine, you need good soils, a good grower, and good weather,” Nathan Roberts told me on a fine spring morning in Sonoma. Roberts and Duncan Meyers have been friends ever since fifth grade, ten or eleven years old, and have been making wine together for the best part of 15 years. Arnot-Roberts has had a slow gestation:“We had seven years with no pay,” Meyers says. They kept their day jobs for those years: Meyers—whose grandfather was an RAF man from Fife in Scotland—working for John Kongsgaard and then at Pax Wine Cellars; and Roberts—a grandson of Robert Mondavi’s widow Margrit— following his father into the family cooperage.
