“Where the vines meet the pines” – home to more than 40 varieties of wine grapes, ranging from Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon to Cabernet Franc, Barbera, Sangiovese and Tempranillo. Grape growers and winemakers have learned to use the variety that nature gave them, and combine it with premiere winemaking techniques and styles to create some of California's most surprising award-winning wines.
