Rosella's Vineyard
Santa Lucia Highlands

Rosella's Vineyard is owned by Gary Franscioni, "The Other" Gary at Garys' Vineyard. Rosella's, named after Gary's wife, is located in Monterey County, near Soledad, CA, about a mile north of Garys'. Gary has many different Pinot clones planted at Rosella's - we get an acre each of 667, 777, 828, and Pisoni clones.

Garys' Vineyard
Santa Lucia Highlands

Garys' Vineyard is a joint effort between Gary Franscioni and Gary Pisoni (of Pisoni Vineyard). Childhood friends, the two Garys decided to work together to create Garys' Vineyard after the success of Pisoni Vineyard. They took their multi-generation history of growing vegetables and translated that into growing kick ass Pinot Noir. The vineyard is located in Monterey County, near Soledad, CA. The clone planted is the same as that planted at Pisoni Vineyard - The Pisoni Clone.

Brosseau Vineyard
Chalone AVA

For those of you who don't know the name Brosseau, Jan and Jon Brosseau have had their own vineyard next to Chalone for about 20 years - and we started sourcing Pinot from them in 2002. Jon was one of those crazy guys, like Dick Graff at Chalone, who saw the potential of the limestone soil in the hills east of Soledad, and was willing to put up with small problems like no water and no electricity. Recently, they've built a high-end B&B on the property, Inn at the Pinnacles. Their son, Bill, is the new head winemaker at Testarossa. He also produces wine under his own label, Gabilan.

Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard
Santa Maria Valley


Rancho Ontiveros is in the south east portion of the Santa Maria Valley. It's owned by James Ontiveros, whos family has been in Santa Maria for like... forever - and at one time owned the land that is now Bien Nacido Vineyard. James was a grape buyer for Kendall Jackson and Gallo of Sonoma, and is currently managing grape sales for Bien Nacido Vineyard. His vineyard is within shouting distance of Au Bon Climat's new Le Bon Climat vineyard - and it has proven to be killer! We get clones 113, 114, and 115 from James.

Clos Pepe Vineyard
Sta. Rita Hills


Clos Pepe Vineyard is located in the Santa Rita Hills area of Santa Barbara County, near Lompoc, CA. According to Wes Hagen at Clos Pepe, the area of the vineyard where our 667 clone come from is "steep and chunky and makes Pinot freaks like you and me salivate". We also get clone 115 from the lower portion of the vineyard. And starting in 2008, we'll add clone 777 to the mix.
