The Vineyard Tolliver Ranch Vineyard situated on the eastern side of the Paso Robles AVA, on the Estrella River bench. It amasses to almost 600 acres; comprised of wine grapes, blueberries, and land available for planting. The Tolliver Ranch vineyard holds a collection of Cabernet Sauvignon clones that is unrivaled in the surrounding area. The History Originally owned by the winery Villa Mt. Eden, Tolliver Ranch was planted in 2000 with a focus on an array of unique Cabernet clones and the Shiraz clone. Rob Murray purchased the vineyard in 2004 and subsequently grafted about 12. 5 acres of the Cabernet to Petite Sirah. Cabernet Sauvignon plantings currently total 143 acres. The Land Bordered by the Estrella river, this river-bench vineyard features sandy, gravely, well-drained soils that, unlike most soil profiles in the region, are acidic due to the presence of decomposed granite. The combination of Tolliver Ranch’s gravely soil and gently rolling landscape translates to consistent growing conditions with extremely uniform ripening. The Seasons Due to its proximity to the Estrella river basin this vineyard sees cold winters, with many below-freezing days. The Spring at Tolliver Ranch remains relatively cold and the vines push late. Early Summer brings moderately warm days and cool nights.

Cabernet grapes from Tolliver Ranch are typically ready to be picked toward the end of October and occasionally even into November.
