(WineBusiness) - Winemaker Steve Ledson has quietly purchased a 125-acre parcel with 80 acres planted in vines atop the new Moon Mountain appellation above Sonoma Valley. The vineyard, known as Mountain Terraces, sits at 1,800 feet on the southwestern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains on the back side of Mt. Veeder, above the Sonoma Valley floor. Ledson purchased the vineyard from the Schaefer family earlier this month. “It’s a premier vineyard,” Steve Ledson told winebusiness.com. “This is going to produce some phenomenal wines. I’m extremely excited about it.”
