Just around the corner from our Pompadour vineyard there is a ranch belonging to Ron Palmer. Ron planted Wente clone Chardonnay in 1983 with budwood sourced from Buena Vista. The fruit is as good now as it was then. So good in fact, that when André Tschelistcheff purchased the grapes back in the late 80’s he declared them his best Chardonnay. We are proud to make a wine with grapes from Ron’s historic and pedigreed site.
