Stone Cellar completed

1877: de originele kelder “Stone Cellar” wordt afgewerkt (nu nog steeds in gebruik!)

De rijpingskelders zijn een zeldzaamheid voor Californië. Ze werden met de hand uitgegraven in de flanken van de Spring Mountain tussen 1870 en 1880 door Chinese arbeiders. De rotswanden zorgen voor een natuurlijke klimaatscontrole met een constante temperatuur en vochtigheidsgraad, ideaal voor het verouderen van de wijnen.
