Castelli-Knight Ranch is located in the northern section of the Russian River Valley AVA on the highly sought after area along Eastside Road. Twenty years ago approximately 4 acres of two different clones of Pinot Noir (777 and 115) were planted on the rolling hills of the ranch. The soil structure consists of sandy loam and red clay with very little topsoil, creating a stressful, low-vigor environment and producing Pinot Noir grapes with concentrated and powerful flavors.
