The first Pinot Noir sourced 100% from our Estate, The Flash jumps out of the glass with a rush of cassis, herbal, and ginger.

Summer Dreams Ranch Vineyard

VINEYARD NOTES

The estate for Summer Dreams Wines, formerly known as the historic Petersen Ranch (Petersen dairy), is located in the far reaches of Sonoma with a very large hill, almost like a tower, and hidden on one side of the wind-swept hill, amongst old oak trees is an old quarry where a small rail line used to move giant blocks of granite all the way from our Summer Dreams Ranch to the town of Sonoma.
The 96-acre property consists of 7.5 planted acres. Half is planted to Chardonnay and half to Pinot Noir, in the northern section of the ranch on a gently sloped hillside consisting of our prized Goldridge and Osos Sandy Loams soil. 
The combination of prized Goldridge soil and the cooling breeze of the Petaluma wind gap makes this an ideal site within the Sonoma Coast AVA to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

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.
