Wine maker notes In 2012, we started talking about plans to replant the Sauvignon Blanc at our Garfield Ranch over to Pinot Noir. But, because the Sauvignon Blanc from Garfield has been a favorite of mine over the years, and because of the history of Davis Bynum having made a Sauvignon Blanc in the past, I was interested in hanging on to a small piece of the Garfield Ranch. We decided to harvest part of the Garfield vineyard separately –a great patch of ground for producing distinctive Sauvignon Blanc. As a tribute to Davis Bynum’s lovely wife, we are calling that 5 acres of Sauvignon Blanc Virginia’s Block. This block has stony and clay based soils made of shallow, fast draining Huichica loam.
Producer Davis Bynum is distinguished as the first winery to produce a single vineyard pinot noir from Russian River Valley. The vintage was 1973 and the grapes were from Joe Rochioli’s now prized vineyard. Today, more than thirty years later, the heritage of Davis Bynum lives on through hand crafted pinot noir and chardonnay grown exclusively from prime vineyards in Russian River Valley.
