Named for its vineyard of origin, Steel Plow Vineyard is a distinguished, organically farmed vineyard situated at the northern end of Sonoma Valley. Established in 1988 by Damaris Deere Ford, the great-great-granddaughter ofJohn Deere, the vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate where cool morning fog from the Santa Rosa Plain meets warmer air from the San Francisco Bay. The soil composition, primarily gravelly alluvial soils derived from the nearby Sugarloaf Mountain, contributes to the vineyard's distinctive terroir and imparts complexity andminerality to the wines produced from its grapes. 750ml
