We were introduced to the Rosenblum family in late 2019, and shortly thereafter, began talks to lease and operate their storied Lone Oak Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Originally planted by Kent Rosenblum in the early 80’s, the property still has many of the original acres of now 40-year old heritage-clone Chardonnay. There are also several small blocks of Pinot Noir, focused largely on the hillsides. We were able to establish a mutually-beneficial lease arrangement which allowed us to improve the farming of the property, and also introduce several new excellent winery partners to the fantastic quality coming out of the vineyard. Our goals at Lone Oak are simple - respect the heritage, and let the pedigree of the vineyard shine.
