Halcon Vineyard sits at 2,500 feet elevation in the Yorkville Highlands AVA of Mendocino County. Situated at the top of the eastern ridge line, one can see look down on Booneville and the Anderson Valley from the vineyard. The vineyard is above the fog line and experiences strong winds from the coast which moderate the temperatures. The soil is extremely thin and composed of shale, mica-schist, and quartz. The vines were planted in 2005. Due to the extreme climate, winds, and soils, this vineyard often has very low yields. The vineyard is owned and farmed by Paul and Jackie Gordon. Farming practices are non-certified organic.
Highlawn has made this wine in the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018 vintages.
