LA CARTE ET LE TERRITOIRE
Vineyard Name: Young Inglewood Owners: The Young Family Appellation: St. Helena Location: St. Helena Landscape: Sloping from the nearby Mayacamas, forming classic alluvial benchland with gravel on loam, think Cheval Blanc. Soil Type: Pleasanton Loam with Gravel, soil studies reveal well-draining, gravelly loam and deep roots beyond 9'. Varietals: Cabernet Franc Climate: Warm afternoons after morning fog, afternoon sun blocked by the Mayacamas Mountains. Particular Farming Methods: Farmed by Doug Hill and Scott Young (versus the world!) whose farming philosophy Scott sums up as “regular readings of Thomas Pynchon are implemented to ensure the vines are instilled with a healthy amount of paranoia that might stress precisely the right amount to deliver beautiful fruit at harvest."
