Brassfield wines are made in a great wine making region that tends to be missed out on. High Valley is north of Napa and certainly should not be missed out on, it is a beautiful area. The Brassfield wines are great values, not having to pay the huge real-estate cost of Napa and Sonoma they are able to put so much care into their wines. Every Brassfield wine I have had makes me want for more!

This heavenly spot measures three miles wide and nine miles long, running east to west unlike other coastal valleys. Yet High Valley's unique combination of volcanic and alluvial soils, combined with myriad microclimates, makes it one of the finest spots in the world to cultivate premium-quality grapes. High Valley's unique geological creation resulting from numerous volcanic eruptions and subsequent thousands of years of erosion has created an abundant of distinctive characteristics: * Topography - A valley floor of 1,800 feet with High Valley ridges rising above 3,000 feet * Geology - An East–West valley unique to California Coastal Range * Soils - Volcanic soils on the hillsides while alluvial fans and benches on the valley floor * Microclimates - Ranging as low as Region 2 and as high as Region 4 with temperature swings of 40 to 50 degrees during the growing season

The western section of High Valley Appellation holds the magical lands know as High Serenity Ranch. The 2,500 acre former cattle ranch is now home to Brassfield Estate Winery & Vineyard. In 1973, Jerry Brassfield purchased the original 1,600 acres as a cattle ranch and wildlife reserve. While the cattle have gone, the wildlife still remains. Over the next three decades Mr. Brassfield continued acquiring lands. Today, the estate includes both the eastern and the western sections of High Valley as well as ownership of Round Mountain Volcano. In 1998, the Brassfield family realized the land’s true destiny was as a world-class wine property. As a result, Brassfield Estate Winery & Vineyard was established.
