The story of Seabiscuit lives on in the heart
of America. Everyone loves the tale of this stocky, knobby-kneed
racehorse who triumphed over adversity to become one of the greatest
champions of the 20th century. During the 1930s, as America struggled
to overcome the Great Depression, the determined spirit of this
unlikely victor reflected the mood of the nation. After setting
a track record at Santa Anita in 1940, the spectacular racing career
of this legendary Thoroughbred came to an end. Seabiscuit was retired
to a ranch in Mendocino County's Redwood Valley, where his memory
inspires our winemaking endeavors.
