The historic Edmeades Vineyard, located near the town of Philo in Anderson Valley, sits at about 500 feet above sea level with clay soils andgood sun exposure. These features encourage grapes to ripen earlier here than in other parts of the valley, minimizing the risk of encountering late-season rainfall. The Calera clone, is a standout here, producing soaring, floral aromatics with ample tannin and backbone.
