Vineyard Notes
The Bondi Home Ranch sits at the southernmost tip of the Russian River Valley in
the Green Valley AVA in Sebastopol. Lee Martinelli Sr. inherited this ranch from his
uncle when it was still an apple orchard, and has since converted the 20 acres to
Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyard is planted with eastern exposure, which promotes
even ripening with all day sun. The cool breeze from the sea rises in the late
afternoon, skimming along the distant bank of fog, relieving the vines from the
afternoon heat and enhancing slower ripening. The clones are 115, 777, 667, 828,
943 and Calera. Bondi Home Ranch has the longest growing season of all of our
vineyards; it is the first to bloom and the last to be picked
