After decades of disuse, including a stint as a turkey farm, fourth-generation California farmers Andrew and Adam Mariani acquired the property in 2007 and set about restoring both the vineyard and the estate's historic 19th-century hacienda. The brothers farm with a non-interventionist, ecosystem-first philosophy, and Along the Palms is their un-oaked, everyday expression of Sonoma Valley Chardonnay.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew and Adam Mariani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practicing Organic; California Certified Sustainable Winegrowing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonoma Valley AVA.
