Yeah, I'm Tyler Click from Redwood Empire Vineyard Management. We farm for about 2,500 acres throughout Sonoma County for absentee owners, for winery owners. We have vineyard properties of our own that we own and lease. So we're pretty much farming in all areas of Sonoma County.

Yeah, exactly the same thing. We help farm those vineyards, develop the winery relationships, sell those grapes, whatever they need done, we're there to help them. And it's

We farm, yeah, predominantly grapes. We farm a little bit of olives. Out here in California, a lot of people like to have a few olives around, but predominantly wine grapes.

They do. They're great for the Mediterranean climate, and great olive oil is something that a lot of people like to have around.

Yeah, so you have the Benzinger Sauvignon Blanc from Frank Johnson Vineyard, a vineyard that we lease. That's the Sauvignon Blanc there. That is a really nice vineyard site. We actually dry farm this site. It's on a deep loam soil, and it just has really nice crisp, clean characters for the fruit. The other bottle you have there is the Coppola Sequerche Cabernet Sauvignon.

It's grown in Alexander Valley, a really nice hillside site, farmed organic from day one, and produces just a really nice quality Cabernet Sauvignon.

Correct. On this site, while we have drip irrigation, we essentially don't use it. The soils are very deep, and the winter rains we get, there's enough water holding capacity in the soil to allow us to not have to irrigate during the growing season. Wow.

Most vineyards in California are drip irrigated because we have basically two seasons, wet and dry. In the winter months, we get rainfall. In the summer months, we're dry. That's why it's ideal for growing wine grapes. Much lower disease pressure without the rain in the summertime.

There are some differences. So you're taller, thinner. You'll want to put your Sauvignon Blanc in your fat or wider one where you'll want to put your Cabernet in.

Yeah, so this comes from a vineyard that we developed organically and have farmed it organically from day one. It's a site that the property owner, it's a site we actually also lease, but the property owner is probably the greenest person I know.

So the site not only is certified sustainable, certified organic, we also participate in climate adaptation program where we measured our carbon footprint.

and so we can see what are we are we you know net positive net negative on that front actually on this site we are a net positive meaning we actually um sequester more carbon than we emit in our our farming so even the wineries are getting into this carbon intensity and all that kind of stuff and we're getting that in corn and soybean country it's kind of crazy

Yes, that is the same. So if I take an existing vineyard that was not organic, it's a three-year transition.

Plant the vines. So say year one, planting of the vines. Year two, we're growing the vines up the stake. Year three, we get our first production. And then they move into full production by year five.

Correct. If you're planting organically from day one, but if you're taking a mature vineyard that is not farmed organically, you have to not have any inorganic inputs over a three-year period of time. I like that. That's very good.

We typically go white first, but that's okay.

Oh, this wine is very rich and complex. It has a very nice tannin profile. So we call them kind of dusty tannin profile. And it has depth and character. Definitely fully ripe, not overripe. It has some nice, probably blackberry characteristics in there. Little cassis. So it's a, it's a really nice line. It is full.

That's Francis Ford Coppola, some artwork he had an artist do for his Vineyard Designate program. And so he, you know, being in the movie industry, he likes to always put on a show. So it's a really cool label. Okay.

Oh, that would go great with a steak. Some of your barbecue, it would go good with a lot of those sort of richer meals like a Flamin' Yon or New York. I'm hungry.

So this is a... Yeah, so this Sauvignon Blanc, it's hand harvested, and they pick it where it still has good acidity in it, so it's a nice, crisp, clean Sauvignon Blanc. It is.

So hand harvesting, in some cases, at least in Sonoma County, we can only hand harvest because the machines can't get into the hillsides. But we have sites that we can hand harvest. For example, on this Frank Johnson Vineyard, there's another winery that buys another portion of the Sauvignon Blanc. It's actually Coppola that we machine harvest, whereas the vineyard doesn't.
