In 1973, Davis Bynum was the first to release his small lot of single vineyard Pinot Noir from the famed Rochioli Vineyard in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. Today, the heritage of Davis Bynum lives on through the creation of hand-crafted wines grown exclusively in the Russian River Valley. In 2007, Davis hand-picked his successor to sell to and selected Tom Klein and the Klein family, fourth-generation California farmers, who shared the same values and principles he built his own reputation on. Today winemaker Greg Morthole continues to honor the expertise and shared innovative winemaking spirit of founder, friend and mentor Davis Bynum.
