73175 Indian Valley Rd. , San Miguel, CA 93451(Monterey County)

LOCATION: Located in the magnificent and historical Indian Valley area of Southern Monterey County, approximately 15 minutes North/East of Paso Robles, Ca. The topography consists of gently rolling Oak studded hills to level land...all with simply amazing views of the Big Sandy River as well as the Coastal Mountains. This property is ideally located to provide the rural feel, but is just a short 12 minutes to the famous San Miguel Mission (founded July 24, 1797) and just another easy eight minutes to Paso Robles. Although the topography is very user friendly and not steep, it is elevated from the paved county maintained road in such a way that it affords a special feel of complete privacy with spectacular views in every direction.

THE VINEYARD: Planted in 2000 and 2001, the 21 acre vineyard is comprised of:

Cabernet Sauvignon~10 Acres, Clone 7 & 15,

Cabernet Franc~5 Acres, Clone 332 & 312

Merlot~5 Acres, Clone 181

Spacing is 10x5 with drip irrigation.

The owner, Ron Harris along with Dennis Byrnes carefully researched the site to choose the specific clones and rootstock that would acclimate to the vineyard soils.

Every inch of this vineyard, roads, shop and utilities and future home site was subjected to the upmost thought in design with the vision of the absolute highest quality of fruit. Dennis Brynes has been in the grape growing industry for over 20 years, starting with Martin Brothers Winery and working with many other notable area vineyards. Dennis is a Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo-Graduate where he studied Agriculture Science with a concentration in Plant Production. The final touch is Steve Glossner, the Winemaker. Among many other accolades, Steve is well known for producing Justin Vineyards 1994 Isosceles, which was awarded the prestigious international "Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lanande Trophy" for the best blended red wine.

MISC: The entrance road is based, division road at Merlot/Cabernet is DG and side road to property line from pavement is also DG. All are useable year round as well as the shop yard areas. The property being over 82 Oak studded acres, offers many gorgeous building sites, room for expansion of the vineyard as well as many other buildings or improvements one may wish. The entire property is fenced and the vineyard is deer fenced. The vineyard was put in conjunction with the adjoining property, so at this time there is no division fence between the two vineyards, although they are both managed by different people. As an added note, this property was once a part of the neighboring Indian Valley Ranch. The approved white papers for the subdivision has lapsed. Due to conflicts in prevailing DRE, Monterey County and other subdivision laws it is questionable that any CC&R's are valid or enforceable.
