Hunter Hill Vineyard is planted on the six acres of land which includes the winery and residence. This land has been in the family for 100 years and previously was a productive fruit orchard. Beginning in 1990 the first Merlot vines were planted with additional vines every 4 years ending with the 2.5 acre Syrah vineyard planted in 1999.
Upcoming changes in the vineyard:
The south facing hillside is being grafted in March 2005 over to Pinot Noir to round out the Santa Cruz Mountains Estate wines, Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir.
