Suscol Ranch, spanning nine acres, sits in the cool environs of Jamieson Canyon, south of Napa city. This region experiences early-season fog and persistent winds, offering an ideal climate for grape cultivation. The vines occupy north-facing slopes, nestled in deep, loamy soil, and are trained in the cordon style to maximize sun exposure. These cool conditions encourage gradual ripening, resulting in a well-balanced blend of flavors and mature tannins.
