THE MCNAB RANCH MAPPINGClones:
Cabernet Sauvignon clone 7 ( on 5c and 3309C rootsstock)Malbec Cot clone 595 (on 101-‐14MG rootstock)Old Vine Petit Syrah ( durif selection non grafted)Merlot (mostly clone 3 on 5C and 181 roostocks)
Training system: Vertical shoot positioningSoil: 1-‐ Recent sedimentary deposits on the valley floor along Mc Nab Creek. (drained Cole Loam, Russian River Loam).2-‐Ancient sedimentary rocks that are uplifted seafloor and now form the surrounding mountains.
(Pinole gravelly loam and redvine sandy clay loam).
Pinole series
THE MCNAB VINEYARD SOIL STRATIFICATION
The Pinole series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from mixed rock sources.
Cole loam This very deep, somewhat poorly drained soil is on river terraces. It formed in alluvium derived frommixed rock sources.
Redvine SeriesDeep, well drained soils formed in old alluvial material weathered from sedimentary rock. Redvine soils are on dissected terraces and have slopes of 2 to 30 %.
Pest and disease management.-‐ Managed through a diversity of plants and animals-‐ Non-‐productive areas planted.-‐ Formal landscape.
Manage the property as a whole.Monitor nutrient loss and create a self reliant system.Biodynamic Preparations.
