History

Production of exceptional wine is never a certainty. Even if the fruit comes from such preeminent growing appellations as the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Los Carneros, careful focus and premier viticulture practices must unite with a deep-rooted passion to create the most individually stunning wines available. Lost Canyon Wines are a testament to this truly unique point of view.

 

The dream of Lost Canyon Winery materialized out of a passionate desire to harness the enchantingly distinctive characteristics articulated by the famed terroir of the cooler Northern California appellations. Our aim is to craft wines that exemplify each of the distinct and fundamental attributes of this exceptional region by discovering the most evocative single-vineyards and nurturing their exceptional fruit into authentically unforgettable wine.

 

To accomplish this carefully designed ambition, we’ve chosen to allow each of the remarkable components derived from the finest single-vineyards emerge in their own right. For this reason, we opt to go without the heavy-handed and often muddying effects of blending multiple vineyards, which can twist and wrench the gracefulness out of the finished product. Our light and deliberate touch results in an emboldened display of terroir and a true manifestation of the delicate nuances inherent in each vineyard.

 

We've stripped down the ornate trappings of finicky winemaking and replaced it with crisp, clean, serious winemaking. To be sure, this is truly a pioneering and innovative methodology that showcases the eccentric characteristics specific to each individual vineyard’s personality. If you love wine that is dark but nervy, powerful and distinct, bright yet grounded, velvety and lush, layered and forever memorable, then the Lost Canyon collection of Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay, is precisely what you are searching for. Welcome to the Lost Canyon.

Vineyards

Each of our carefully selected single-vineyards have a distinctive location and a personality all their own. The combination of each vineyard's site, soil composition, growing season, elevation attributes, and clone and rootstock selections, set them apart. Individually, each vineyard's character guides the Lost Canyon wine style of elegantly lush and vibrant fruit flavors with a careful balance of natural acids and delicate tannins.

 

Morelli Lane Vineyard

 

Established in 1995 and planted to Pinot Noir clones 115, 113 and Beringer in sandy loam soil, the Morelli Lane Vineyard finds its home at a 1000’ elevation and only six short miles from the rugged and cool Sonoma Coast. Due to its location, Morelli Lane is influenced by cool mornings and warm daytime temperatures, allowing for maximum color development and unique flavors that lend themselves to crafting in a more classic Burgundian style.

 

Saralee's Vineyard

 

Set against a background of stately ancient oaks, Richard and Saralee Kunde selected the site for its qualities of cool climate, famous soil and gentle hills. We’ve selected to use clone 115 and 777, which were planted in 1997 and produce consistent fruit year after year. The vineyard is situated within two miles of the Russian River, with a soil composition of sandy-clay-loam that matches particularly well with these Pinot Noir vines. The vineyard has a Northern/Southern exposure and is at 150 ft. above sea level making for fog engulfed summer morning allowing for a slow maturation of the grapes.

 

Trenton Station Vineyard

Trenton Station Vineyard finds its home on a small hillside parcel along the gently rolling hills of the Russian River Valley. Known endearingly as the Pasta Boys lot, this vineyard was planted in 1999 in Goldridge fine sandy soil. Running north/south along the hillside, the vineyard enjoys northern sun exposure and the cooling summer coastal fog.
