The Four Loams: How Soil Shapes Your Wine

Soil is the quiet architect of flavor, and Suisun Valley’s four loam types play a key role in every bottle produced here. Brentwood clay loam gives structure and depth to red varietals, while San Ysidro sandy loam offers a lighter, warmer environment ideal for expressive whites. Sycamore silty loam delivers balance and fertility, creating wines with harmony and softness.

Rincon clay loam, dense and nutrient-rich, supports vines that produce concentrated fruit—perfect for bold, full-bodied wines. Each loam type influences the way grapes grow: how they ripen, how they retain acidity, and how they translate into aromas and textures.

When you taste wine from Suisun Valley, you’re tasting the land itself. The valley’s loam isn’t just soil—it’s a defining ingredient that shapes every glass poured.
