Vineyards

First planted in 1973, the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard is located in the very best spot in the Santa Maria Valley AVA. The combination of site, climate, soil, and quality farming have elevated Bien Nacido to the highest ranks among the worlds best! It is also where the winery is located.
Ibarra Young
Located in the heart of the Los Olivos District AVA, this little gem of a vineyard was originally planted in 1971. The vineyard is named for Charlotte Young, the owner of the property, and Miguel Ibarra, the vineyard worker who planted the vines by hand and tended them until he retired in 2013. It has been farmed organically since 1999.
CLV Winery
The winery, Clendenen Lindquist Vintners’ (CLV), was established at the Bien Nacido Vineyard in 1989. It is a partnership between longtime winemaking friends, Jim Clendenen (Au Bon Climat) and Bob Lindquist. A number of winemakers, including Louisa Sawyer Lindquist, make their wines here, using the best traditional equipment and barrels along with the outstanding CLV staff.
Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard
Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard, also known as Slide Hill, is located in Edna Valley. The gravelly sandy loam soils have loads of marine fossils, Obispo Formation Mudstone, Monterery formation shale as well as an underlying volcanic influence due to the many dormant volcanic caps that dot the area. The vineyard is about 5.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and Edna Valley has the longest grape growing season in California, yielding well balanced, fully flavored grapes with excellent structure. The vineyard is Demeter Certified Biodynamic.
Martian Ranch Vineyard

It has its own unique microclimate, typically 10 degrees cooler than the Santa Ynez Valley and 10 degrees warmer than Santa Maria, with warm days and very cold nights allowing the fruit from our vineyard to achieve incredible concentration and balance. The soil, called "moon dust" is well aerated and mainly comprised of shale-y clay loam. The vineyard is Demeter Certified Biodynamic.
