Gravel Ridge is a 4-acre vineyard on the eastern slope of the Santa
Cruz mountains, overlooking the Santa Clara valley. It is
east-facing, on a 35-40 degree slope, and at approximately 900 foot
elevation. The vines were planted in 1979 and 1980 on St.
George rootstock. Like all other Cooper-Garrod vineyards,
Gravel Ridge is unirrigated, and the vines are naturally stressed.
