Full Description

Weir Vineyard is a highly acclaimed mountain vineyard located at approximately 1,000 feet above sea level in California’s prestigious Yorkville Highlands AVA, overlooking the headwaters of the Navarro River in Mendocino County. Renowned for its rugged terrain and exceptional terroir, the vineyard has earned a reputation as one of Northern California’s most distinctive sources of premium Pinot Noir.

Planted in nutrient-poor gravelly sandstone soils, Weir Vineyard naturally limits vine vigor and crop yields, producing intensely concentrated fruit with remarkable depth and complexity. The vineyard’s elevated position, cool climate, and extended growing season allow the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving vibrant acidity while developing nuanced flavors and exceptional structure.

Highly sought after by acclaimed wineries, Weir Vineyard fruit has been featured in wines from respected producers, including Williams Selyem and Fathers & Daughters Cellars. The resulting wines are celebrated for their elegance, minerality, bright red fruit character, earthy undertones, and outstanding aging potential. Today, Weir Vineyard remains one of the most respected vineyard sites in the Yorkville Highlands, consistently producing terroir-driven Pinot Noir that reflects the unique mountain landscape of Mendocino County.
