In 1858 when Emil Dresel found his way to Sonoma, he brought along vine cuttings of Riesling and Sylvaner from his family's vineyard in Geisenheim – the first of their kind in California. He tended these grapes on the slopes that they now farm at SCRIBE, making wine until Prohibition in 1919. In homage, they planted a single acre of Sylvaner on the farm, hoping it would do as well as it did for him. They have since learned that Sylvaner grown in these volcanic soils and graced with the daily salty bay breeze, yields fresh, textured, and delicious wine. What Dresel saw back then in this hillside's terroir holds up today.
