Ros Wine by Balo from North Coast, California. The soil profile includes a combination of Perry Gulch loam and Boontling loam soil with the majority of the vineyard planted on the Perry Gulch soil. The property sits on a river bench and as a result, contains a considerable amount of river rock from the days of the creek's formation. In some places these rocks are so plentiful that they're mixed with the soil all the way up to the surface.
