PEOPLE
In 2010 Mimi and Peter Buckley bought property just east of Healdsburg as the next step in a line of conservationist endeavors. Wanting to successfully put into practice environmental and agricultural beliefs, the goal was to create a dynamic, organic, biodiverse, and multicultural farm that ultimately proved its economically viability. 100 acres of land, 12 acres of vineyards, 40 acres of extensive gardens, vegetable production, stone fruit and olive orchards, cut flowers, and turkey, chicken, and pig farming, all function together as a vertically integrated farm.
VINEYARDS
The farm lies in a small canyon located in the north-easternmost part of the Russian River Valley, just within the confines of three different AVAs. Though the Buckleys didn’t initially set out to make wine, they found various vineyards planted to Rhône varieties around the property. The holistic, integrated, and regenerative practices employed throughout the farm also extend to the vineyards, planted principally to head-trained Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre.
WINES
The White 2015 (DAILY WINE), a blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne with smaller amounts of Marsanne and Viognier, delivers gorgeous freshness in the glass thanks to its robust acidity. And its ripe white fruit flavor is balanced but a delicious nuttiness that gives just the right savory character to the wine.
