Duckhorn Buys In Paso Robles

The Duckhorn Portfolio has acquired the 289-acre Bottom Line Ranch in the San Miguel District sub-appellation of the Paso Robles AVA for an undisclosed sum. Planted exclusively to 265 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyard features seven top clones on three drought-tolerant rootstocks, according to the company.

Duckhorn’s Central Coast footprint already includes Calera winery’s 82 acres of estate vineyards on Mt. Harlan. The company says the purchase will help provide it with access to high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon for years to come and support continued growth for its Decoy and Postmark wineries. According to Impact Databank, Decoy rose 19% to just under 1.3 million cases in the U.S. last year.—Daniel Marsteller
