The Cargasacchi vineyard is a bit of an anomaly in that all of the vines in the 16-acre site represent a single clone, 115, which was one of the first Dijon clones to be planted in the U.S., back in the late 1980s (in Oregon) and the early '90s (in California). Peter Cargasacchi explained that 115 "just gives great expression here," adding that "what's at least as interesting as clonal selection is rootstock selection, and then where, exactly, in an area with mixed soils, you put those roots down." He noted that the variables are obviously exponential but that you can't stop exploring them. "It's easier to just talk clones but they're really only the most obvious thing when you're discussing the vine and site."
