VINEYARD NOTES: Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard was originally the property of William Bowers Bourn II, considered the last Bonazana King of the California Gold Rush due to his ownership of the Empire Mine - the finest gold mine in California. Bourn is credited with having built Greystone Cellars in St. Helena, which is currently the home of the Culinary Institute of America Greystone. He purchased the vineyard in St. Helena in 1872 for a family home, and much of the vineyard land remains in the care of his descendants today. A portion of the original vineyard was purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards in 2010. Planted with head-trained, old-growth Petite Syrah and various clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, the Beckstoffer Bourn vineyard is Beckstoffer's most recently acquired Heritage vineyard.
