The name of this historic vineyard pays homage to the Kentucky-style Block House that was constructed by George Yount in 1836 and once stood on this site. This property is characterized by deep alluvial soils, along with the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay. In addition, there are regions of this large acreage that have differing microclimates, allowing for a diverse collection of planted varieties and targeted wine styles. Fruit from this vineyard is used for sparkling, still white, and dry red programs.
