Coombsville
Glass Rock
Glass Rock sits on the side of another Nested Megaslide that occurred in the southern end of the Vaca Range some eight million years ago at the same time as the one up north that gave us Ghost Block. But whereas Ghost Block sits on the displaced peak of a mountain, Glass Rock sits on the edge of the concentric circles that mimic the look of a “caldera.”
This vineyard is undeniably the beating heart of the Coombsville area complete with cold, wind-swept slopes and porous volcanics that run the gamut from iron-red, lava rocks to black obsidian. Mixing this terroir with our farming and winemaking approach gives us a wine that is red fruited; strawberry, cranberry, and glacier cherry dotted with a savory, salty, sea-spray intensity.
