The vineyard was originally developed by VPS for Chateau St. Michelle over two decades ago as a ‘winemaker’s Cabernet site’. Eight Cabernet clones were planted on five different rootstocks across three distinct soil types in blocks as small as 1.5 acres. The vineyard was sold to another investment group who tried to develop the southern half into a housing development that never came to fruition. They sold the property to the current owners who instead planted the southern half and more recently replanted the original northern blocks. The vineyard remains predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, but there are significant portions of Petite Sirah and Syrah in addition to some small blocks of novel varieties. Most recently in 2024 the vineyard grafted over a block to include key white wine varieties: Grenache Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Picpoul Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc.
