The Mediterranean landscape inspired this Italian villa, complete with rows of 1,600 Zinfandel, Petit Syrah, and Sangiovese grapevines ripening in the sun and a seasonal stream. Plans sketched on a napkin by the owner were brought to fruition by renowned local architect William Wood who noted that careful consideration was given to this site's unique location and wind direction in the planning stages to maximize the impressive 100-mile views of the surrounding hills. This work of art was completed in 2008.
