Calluna Vineyards | Chalk Hill AVA in Sonoma County | Cellar Angels

Calluna has been a longtime dream of David Jeffrey’s, even as he was working for Seagram back in New York City for their corporate treasury staff. His love for classically styled wines began with the Old World Wine Regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy but were solidified after drinking stunning examples from Napa Valley, Sonoma County and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The desire to create a winery of his own led David to change careers in 2001 at the age of 44 and enroll in Fresno State’s Oenology and Viticulture program. 2 years later he found himself working in the cellar at Chateau Quinault l’Enclos in St Emilion for Dr. Alain Raynaud. David’s work in France was the most important part of his education. Having the opportunity to taste some of the great wines from Bordeaux and Napa, he asked himself, “To the extent these wines are different, is it due to simply the land, weather & climate (terroir), or are different choices being made in the vineyards and wineries?” To answer this question, David worked 3 months in Napa/Sonoma and then 3 months in Bordeaux. Dr. Raynaud was extremely supportive of this study and showed him every aspect of traditional and modern winemaking techniques in Bordeaux. David searched many years for the right vineyard site. Initially, this search was just intended to get an understanding of the market for vineyard land in Napa and Sonoma. David targeted sites that would be considered cool areas for growing Bordeaux varietals and sites with elevation. The cooler sites would allow for fruit ripening at lower sugar (alcohol) levels. Elevation is a great protection against frost damage in the spring, and it promotes less stressful ripening by moderating temperature swings from day to night.
