Viticulture

With its moderate climate, and diverse terroir, the state of California offers many distinct AVAs. Simple Life wines are sourced throughout California's prime grape growing regions. The "Golden State" is known for its abundant sunshine which helps to ensure a reliable extended growing season. The core of this wine was crafted around the Pommard Clone 4, which has clusters about half of the size of a clenched fist with bright fruit concentration and fresh raspberry flavors.

Terroir

California boasts nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs), that encompass over a half million acres of vineyards, supporting a diverse varietal mix. Pinot Noir, a cool climate varietal, thrives in the fog-bathed coastal vineyard sites.
