Named after our late vineyard manager, Ulises Valdez Sr. (UV), and located at his home estate on Stoetz Lane (SL), this vineyard is one of only a few in the far western reaches of the Sonoma Coast. Only six miles from the Pacific Ocean, the maritime influences here are omnipresent, with warm, sun-dappled afternoons refreshed by cool ocean breezes. Aubert and Valdez Sr. collaborated nearly 15 years ago on the planting of this magnificent vineyard of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
