Burrell School’s origins date back to 1854 when Lyman J. Burrell settled the rough wilderness that is now home to our winery and Estate vines. Carrying on the more than 130-year-old tradition at the School, Dave and Anne Moulton began development of the Estate vineyard in 1973. At a 1,600 foot elevation, the site faces to the southwest. Soils are a complex mixture of loam and shale due to our close proximity to the San Andreas Fault.

Review
Sourced from entirely estate grown fruit, winemaker Dave Moulton shows us what the Santa Cruz Mountains can produce. Alluring blueberry and boysenberry move into notes of smoked ham and sweet spice. With a sip, dark berries blend with accents of spice and nuances of ham. Smooth and accessible, fans of the varietal will enjoy this one.
