Six generations of Hazlitts have loved and cared for this farm. Once covered with fruit trees and native grapes, the land was converted to vinifera varieties in the early to mid 1980s. Success with these early plantings of Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir didn’t stop Jim from experimenting with other varieties, including Sangiovese, Syrah, and Sauvignon blanc, all having resulted in some great wines!
