Description
With no reservations, the wine shows a nose of lemon peel, lemongrass, orange blossom and a subtle herbal element of cut orchard-grass and wild thyme. Broad and ample but quite focused on the palate, with rich, lemon-oil acidity, orange candy, lemongrass and gooseberry.
Founded in 1975, Preston Farm and Winery is a family-operated, organic property in Healdsburg’s Dry Creek Valley. The 125 acres are nestled between a meandering salmon-spawning stream and a sleepy stretch of former wagon trail leading to town. Under the Preston family’s stewardship, the land has evolved from an emphasis on wine alone to diversified crops, including vineyards, vegetables, fruit and olive trees, grain, and pastured livestock. Dry Creek Valley has a long and rich history of grape growing and wine production that reaches back to the late 1800s, when local immigrant families settled there to forge new lives and develop new communities. This vibrant stretch of Sonoma County has a deep, personal and survivalist side, reflected in the quest of farmers to eke out a living from the soil, inventive adaptations to the rigors of Prohibition, and the contemporary blend of winemakers who blaze new trails in this evolving AVA.
