Vineyard Sourcing
Amador County is renowned for producing the finest California Zinfandel wines. The grapes were sourced from organically farmed old vine Zinfandel vineyards that are planted on hillsides with soils of sandy clay loam derived from decomposed granite, unique to the region. Amador County's warm days and cool evening breezes from the Sierras promote full ripening of the grapes and a balanced acidity, leading to a robust, intensely flavored wine.
