Black Walnut has soils composed entirely of red basalt alterite which supports a wine that is sweet and round from the taste of fresh berries and cherries. At first glance the soil in Black Walnut seems like a deep red top soil but closer examination of the “articulated” area of the vineyard reveals 100 percent oxidized volcanic rock weathered to such a degree that it is on the cusp of becoming but not yet soil. The Black Walnut Articulate is .96 acres within a 10 acres of planted ground near the crest of the Dundee Hill.
