High on the eastern slope of Sonoma Mountain, partially shielded by the mountain from the wind and fog blowing through the Petaluma Gap to the west, Laurel Glen has been recognized for decades as a benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Known for wines of structure, balance, & remarkable longevity, Laurel Glen produces terroir-driven Cabernets that evolve with grace & precision.

The vineyard faces east, above the fog line. This optimal exposure captures the first rays of morning sunlight and avoids the burning heat of late afternoon. The thin, rocky soils promote efficient drainage and restrain vigor.

The vineyard earned CCOF Organic Certification in 2014, thanks to the efforts of Viticulturist Phil Coturri. In addition to developing a comprehensive schedule of cover crops, he has updated the vineyard’s trellising system and pruning practices to achieve more even ripening and concentration in the grapes.
