VINEYARD NOTES

Sourced from the “Vulcan Ridge”, Summer Dreams Wine Estate and Annapolis vineyards, each hillside site is chosen for the generous slope, unique sequence of Goldridge soils, ranging from 900 – 1900 feet above sea level, and microclimate to add dimension to the wines.
A rare, fine-grained sandy loam, Goldridge soils are known for excellent drainage, and a characteristically light and fluffy texture.
Some of the particularly unique sites have Goldridge layered on top of ancient seabed where finding fossils in the soil is not unusual and a clay content that helps the soil retain precious moisture during the growing season.
The coastal climate of the region is marked by warm, dry summers and cool, damp winters.

Having written an extensive article last year about Jayson & Helen Woodbridge’s three wine projects—Hundred Acre, Fortunate Son, and Summer Dreams—this feature by Lisa Perrotti-Brown is an annual update on the new 2021, 2022, and 2023 releases.

Map Maker: Summer Dreams, Fortunate Son and Hundred Acre New Releases

The Wine Independent | Lisa Perrotti-Brown

“I’m a direct descendent of Jacques Cartier, the cartographer,” Jayson Woodbridge tells me, seemingly apropos of nothing. But nothing is random or out of context with Jayson. For example, he describes Cartier as a cartographer, not an explorer—the profession by which Cartier is better known. With Jayson, every casually offered piece of shared information is specific and purposeful, whether you get it or not.
