4 PHYSICAL FEATURES The gross acre subject is irregular in shape and consists of gently sloping to moderately steep terrain. Asti Road borders the property on the western edge and the Russian River on the eastern edge. The main topographic feature is the knoll on the western portion of the property that rises about 200 feet above the river. Elevation ranges from 240 feet at the river to 454 feet above sea level on the knoll top. Vegetation consists of native weeds, shrubs and trees along the river and scattered oaks, weeds and grasses on the knoll. Approximately 33.5 net acres are developed to varietal vineyard. Railroad tracks bisect the subject. The railroad is currently not utilized; however, passenger rail service for the line is being pursued, as well as a new freight line. The subject s knoll top building site features 270-degree views of the Alexander Valley, Russian River and surrounding hills. The building site on the eastern side of the knoll is buffered from Highway 101 noise and offers privacy. Another building site is situated near the southwestern corner of the subject on a secondary knoll. This site is slightly influenced by the nearby freeway and Chianti Road, and privacy is limited. ACCESS The subject has frontage on paved two-lane Asti Road. On-site access is provided by gravel and dirt service roads. SOIL DETAILS The soil information used in this report is based on a visual inspection of the site, and the Soil Survey of Sonoma County. The 1972 United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey of Sonoma County identifies the soil type on the subject property as: SOIL TYPES SYMBOL SOIL TYPE SLOPE CAP. CLASS AdA Alluvial land sand - VLLW-4 LgE Laughlin loan 2-30% Ive-8 ReE Raynor-Motara complex 0-30% Vle-5 RnA Riverwash - Vllw-4 YlA Yolo sandy loan 0-2% l-1 The soil survey rates soils according to capability class. Capability groupings show, in a general way, the suitability of soils for most kinds of crops. The soils are grouped by Roman Numerals I to VII, according to their limitations. As the numeral increases in size, they indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower choices for use.

5 WATER SOURCES AND USE Vineyard irrigation is provided by two on-site wells. Well water is stored in a 12,000-gallon concrete tank situated on top of the knoll and delivered to the vineyard by gravity flow. The exception to this is the lower vineyard, which is irrigated directly from the well. The vineyard does not require frost protection due to the hillside location. UTILITIES Electric power is developed to the well site. Telephone lines are located on Asti Road. Propane is delivered in the area. Private sewage disposal systems are used in the area. A percolation test has been completed on the subject and system design is underway.

7 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS FLOOD POTENTIAL The subject is within Zone AE and X as identified by Federal Emergency Management Agency Map # C, printed April 2, 1991, for Sonoma County. The area between the river and the railroad is in Flood Zone AE, defined as an area inundated by the 100-year flood. The 4 acre grafted Cabernet Sauvignon block is in this area and flooding is a minor concern, as the floodwaters tend to be slow moving and recede before spring. The remainder of the property is in Zone X, defined as an area outside the 500-year flood. SEISMIC ACTIVITY The property is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Zone of seismic activity. However, it should be noted that a special study zone is located about 2.5 miles to the northeast. This information was derived from the Earthquake Epicenters Map, compiled by the California Division of Mines and Geology. WET LANDS There are no designated wetland maps printed for Sonoma County. ZONING/LAND USE CONTROLS The subject is zoned LlA Land Intensive Agriculture District, B7 no further subdivision, SR Scenic Resource, BR Biotic Resource, F1 and F2 floodplain. The subject is a legal, conforming parcel and is not encumbered by the Williamson Act. Vineyard and residential uses are legal conforming uses. Winery use is allowed with the proper Use Permit issued. The subject cannot be subdivided. The Land Intensive Agriculture District serves to enhance and protect lands best suited for permanent agricultural use and capable of relatively high production per acre. The Scenic Resource Combining District preserves the visual character and scenic resources of lands in the county by placing restrictions on structures. The Biotic Resource Combining District protects biotic resource communities, including the critical habitat areas and riparian corridors for their habitat and environmental value. This district regulates building construction and minimum lot coverage area. The Floodplain Combining Districts, F1 Primary and F2 Secondary, encumber the subject property adjacent to the river. These districts mandate special construction requirements on structures being built within these areas in order to offer minimum obstruction to water flow and damage to the property. Any vineyard development or redevelopment is subject to the Vineyard Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance. A 20,000 case winery was approved but permit was allowed to expire by Seller.
