Tofanelli Vineyard is a historic vineyard located on Dunaweal Lane just south of Calistoga. These old growth vines are all head trained and farmed with no irrigation and an organic philosophy.
The summer leading up to the 2021 harvest was ideal, with warm days and cool nights, and no intense heat spikes to speak of. The continuing drought and a few weather events during bud break limited yield's, but the quality is very high. Small concentrated berries yield intense flavorful wines. Though small in volume the 2021 harvest is mighty in quality.
