The Kiser Vineyard is located approximately one mile southeast of the town of Navarro in the northwest end of the Anderson Valley, Mendocino County. The vineyard is situated on south to southwest facing hills and consists of two distinct upper and lower blocks. Both sections were planted with Pinot Noir in 2000. When establishing the vineyard, the natural setting of native oak, bay, fir and redwood trees as well as a colorful natural wetland was carefully preserved.

The vineyard upper block is planted in fractured sandstone from the Franciscan Formation with equal proportions of the 114, 777, and 667 Dijon clones. The lower block is planted in a dense sandy loam with the 115 Dijon clone and a select Burgundy clone.  Both blocks are south facing but distinct in their soil composition and microclimates. Vines are planted with 8 X 6’ spacing and farmed organically with emphasis on fruit quality.

The Kiser Vineyard, located approximately 10 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, is one of the most westerly vineyards of the Anderson Valley Viticulture Region. The climate in the “Deep End” is strongly influenced by its closeness to the ocean. The cooling morning fog and sunny afternoons provide for one of the longest growing seasons in the Anderson Valley. The temperatures on a warm day during veraison are typically 7 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than those in Boonville, located 15 miles southeast.
