Half of the fruit comes from the Art Den Hoed vineyard in Yakima Valley AVA. Planted in 1978, it sits at an elevation of 1,350 feet above sea level. The soil here is rocky cobblestone from an uplifted riverbed from the pre-Missoula flood plains, and is one of the cooler vineyards in the are that offers excellent drainage. The second half is sourced from the Katherine Leone Vineyard in Wahluke Slope AVA. At only 650 feet in elevation, the soils are a mix of gravel and basalt. Planted in 2001, a thick layer of gravel covers a deep bedrock of basalt. This site is famous for its structured and mineral-driven fruit.
