Was taking a look through Ashes and Diamonds’ website out of curiosity and saw their offering “VINEYARD II №1 — 2022” offering and noticed their callout as it being from “the only west-facing vineyard on Diamond Mountain” which, just looking at the maps, is obviously not true. However, there aren’t that many and it appears they’re all next to one-another on that one face of the hill. Moreover, looking at the photo on their site, you can see the type of trellising they use is used by only 2 wineries on the slopeface, Reverie and a much smaller one to the southwest. I’m curious if anyone knows anything more about the source here – is this sourced from Reverie? Is it sourced from the much smaller aforementioned site? Or is there another I don’t know about?

I would assume that it’s sourced from Reverie. Using my Ashes & Diamonds decoder, the “No 1” indicates this is the first time this particular wine has been made, and Vineyard “II” is almost definitely in reference to Reverie, which has the same “II” on all of their labels since they changed ownership.
They really need to fix their naming of wines because it’s super confusing.
