Old Crane/G.B. Crane Vineyard

Description: Planted in the 1880s by Dr. George Belden Crane, these historic vines’ roots are embedded in ground that was formed over millenia as soil and gravel washed down from the Mayacamas Mountains via Sulphur Creek to the western flank of St. Helena. Dr. Crane, realizing the similarity of conditions to other great wine regions, was the first in the valley in 1861 to plant European varieties in his pioneering efforts to produce great wine.
