These wines are from grapes grown in Malibu — Not on the famous beach, but in a scenic valley four miles from the coast, 1,400-feet up, above the coastal fog, in the AVA Malibu Newton Canyon. George Rosenthal, owner of movie studios, hotels, and other enterprises, first planted vineyards at his 250 acre estate in 1987, after spending two years checking soil and weather to make sure he planted the correct varietals.27 acres of hillside vines are planted in this unique microclimate, where cool breezes filter into Newton Canyon in the evening, tempering warm, sunny days. Even with this boutique size, individual lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc are separately vinified and barrel-aged before blending.Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay can be enjoyed in some of LA’s toniest restaurants, and some of Hollywood’s top stars have sipped the wines at the estate.

The ridge holds back the coolingmarine layer oceabreezes in June andJuly so that the days are warm and the evening
temperatures drop substantially whena chimney effect is created and the cool airfloods through the vineyardscloselylocated VerCanyon. Distinctively unique Cabernet Sauvignon,Merlot, anChardonnayare craftedfrom the fruitgrown on theproperty. Theranch andvineyards are
owned by Raleigh Enterprises, of whichMr. George I.Rosenthal is Chairman andChief Executive Officer.
