from the Sonoma Coast, time-honored winegrowing practices are founded on a domain-based blueprint. Green harvesting is employed to remove immature grape clusters. Careful picking and sorting by hand encourages freshness and pure fruit expression. Keeping individual vineyard blocks separate during barrel aging is intended to develop the full potential of each cuvée. Finally, to mitigate disturbances that can alter its character, Freestone wine is bottled without filtration, and only fined on rare occasions.
