PLANTED 2000-2013
Stoneridge
Stoneridge Vineyard is owned by the Davis family, long‑time Royal Slope farmers and friends of the Lawrences. The late Roy Davis and his wife Rhonda began planting the site in 2000. Their son Seth continued its development from 2006 to 2013. Located five miles south of Corfu Crossing along Highway 26, Stoneridge is one of the warmest sites on the slope, defined by its cobbly, gravelly sandy‑loam soils. It has been sustainably farmed by Lawrence Vineyards since 2018. Stoneridge is the vineyard behind the legendary 100‑point 2006 Royal City Syrah by Charles Smith, the first Washington wine to earn a perfect score from Wine Enthusiast.

About the name:
When the Davis family began working the ground in this unique corner of the Royal Slope, they faced a constant battle with the sheer volume of rocks embedded throughout the soils. The original farm was fittingly named Bedrock Farms. The name Stoneridge pays homage to that history and to the adjacent ridge.
