Rio Lago’s diverse clay-loams and silty-loams bring out unique flavors to achieve wines with higher levels of complexity. Below ground, soils and their parent materials were shaped over the millennia by river flow, plate tectonics, and ancient volcanic activity. Rio Lago sits at the western foothills of the Maycamas Mountain Range, and experiences one of the wettest microclimates within the Alexander Valley AVA.
Pacific Ocean air comes in on a nightly basis to cool down hot growing days, allowing the fruit to maintain a needed acidity and freshness to produce premium Bordeaux and Burgundy varietals.
