Vineyards were first planted on the mountain in the 1860's, but the area did not become famous for Pinot Noir until the 1970's. The four by sixteen-mile AVA reaches altitudes as high as 2,600 feet above sea level, placing it above much of the fog that rolls in from the Pacific Ocean, ensuring long hours of sunlight. The elevation and ocean proximity ensure a cool climate, where grapes can ripen over an extended growing season. Wines are highly structured, have good minerality and are extremely age worthy.

Jim Beauregard is the current Viticulturist, and loves to be outside. He is responsible for establishing the Ben Lomond Mountain Appellation, with the idea that the wines of this region have their very own distinct qualities that set them apart from the rest of the Santa Cruz Mountain appellation. The uniquely cool climate in Bonny Doon lends itself to wines that have complete flavor development and evolution, vineyards with rich soils and diversified micro-climates and an overall feeling of rustic Land-focused viticulture. During the late 70s and early 1980s Jim was the purveyor of Felton Empire Winery, focused on Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, which is now the Hallcrest Winery. Jim moved forward from running a winery to concentrate on running vineyards. He became a student of careful clonal selection and his 62 acres produce some of the finest fruit in the state of California.
