Winemakers' Notes
“The Sierra foothills’ warm summer days and cool nights offer a balance of fruit flavors, tannin and body in our wines that just can’t be matched with lower elevation wines.”
“We nurture the ‘nooks and crannies’ on our property, matching varietals, rootstocks and clones to each spot, and managing for balance and complexity rather than simply raw power.”
“El Dorado Zinfandels tend to have good acidity, which balances out their ripeness and makes them a refreshing choice for lovers of big red wines. The region’s Zins often have a spicy quality — like hints of black peppercorns, clove, cinnamon, anise — that make for vibrant wines that pair with a variety of cuisines, including grilled foods.”
“We make wines that we love. We’re not afraid to experiment.”
