VINEYARD LOCATION

Western edge of Alexander Valley in Sonoma County

HISTORY

Stone Ranch is located on the western edge of the Alexander Valley. It was purchased from George Stone in the 1950’s by Everett Lampson who began to plant vineyards and replace the prunes and pears that were previously grown there. Jim Furlong married Everett’s granddaughter and the Furlong family now farms the land. The property covers both sides of the 101 highway to the east and west. To the west of the freeway the vineyards are on slopes and planted to petite sirah and cabernet sauvignon. East of the freeway, zinfandel vineyards are located on deeper valley floor soil, pleasanton gravelly loam soil series. The old vines were planted in 1964 and Block 3A planted in 1988.
