About the Lost Hills Ranch Vineyard
Lost Hills Ranch is a dream. The beautiful loneliness of the open hills and the sentinel oaks covered in Spanish moss project out a sense of calm. The vineyard sits at 1500 ft of elevation. The roots work hard to dig into fractured sandstone with schist veins and a thin top layer of sandy clay. The Yorkville Highlands AVA sits along the southwest corner of Mendocino county. Maritime and continental climates clash here.
About the Fox Hill Vineyards
Fox Hill Vineyard is one of the most unique vineyards in Northern California. Located southeast of Ukiah on Mendocino’s Talmage Bench. The soils are well-drained with high concentrations of gravel, quartz, and sandstone. Planter Lowell Stone decided to buck every trend and simply plant what he wanted to. Many trips to Italy turned to inspiration and the wild spectrum of varieties began to take root.
