Great stuff. As far as suitcase clones go, I don't think anyone expects to get DRC wine from DRC clones grown in the Russian River Valley. Pinot is undoubtedly a wine that is immensely impacted by clone selection though. Swan was one of the first producers to put the Valley on the map, and it appears that he did it with some help from the lads at DRC. I find that very interesting. Good luck on your first release. It looks as though you have some great land up there. Hey Steve,

Interesting blog.Thank god I don't have to deal with county regulations like you have. Our county is generally friendly to Pinot producers. I liked your bit on suitcase clones, though I find it kind of an interesting concept to take a clone from DRC and put it in the Northern Sonoma Valley and expect anything similar. I'm not sure what relavence they have to each other but if it makes great wine, I am all for it. As far as the label...its a no brainer. The scroll totally makes the label.
