Our Zinfandel is grown on head-trained vines rooted in calcareous clay soils. Located in the hills of the Santa Lucia Mountains; just far enough inland from the Pacific Ocean to build heat daily, but close enough to enjoy the nightly cooling of Pacific breezes. The poverty of the site limits yields to a scant 3 tons per acre, boosting intensity and concentration. These elements combined result in rich, fully-ripened grapes, ideal for making big and bold Zinfandel.
