The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of luxury and refinement. San Lorenzo The Pearl is a true gem of the Alexander Valley.

About the Winery

The San Lorenzo vineyard was purchased by Pete Seghesio’s grandfather in 1896 using the ten gold coins he earned working as a cook for the local gold mines. Today, it is one of the most iconic vineyards in California, located alongside the Russian River and spanning both the Russian River Valley and Alexander Valley appellations. The south-facing slopes, rocky terraces and foggy mornings make it ideal for viticulture, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly. Originally 2.8 hectares in size, the vineyard has been added to over the years and now comprises 16 hectares of vines. Old deeds suggest that the vineyard was planted before 1892. This ‘Pearl’ of a vineyard is adjacent to Pete’s home, with a small cellar underneath.
