Vineyard Notes: In the winter of 2007, Brewer-Clifton was approached by Tom and Jan Davidson who own a beautifully situated property nested between Lafond and Ampelos that had yet to be developed. Thrilled at the prospect of working there with the Davidsons, they swiftly penned a land lease arrangement and set forth on their first vineyard planting.

The primary emphasis of the predominantly-sandy ten-acre vineyard is Chardonnay, with equal amounts of five clones planted (4, 76, Hyde, Mount Eden and Sea Smoke Wente). In addition to Chardonnay, there is a smaller field of Pinot Noir planted to Swan, Pommard, 667 and 828 clones.
