The estate, which is perched on a sunny slope above New Melones Reservoir and features lovely vineyards that catch the rising sun, is so stunning that it is highlighted in advertising for the Calaveras County Wine Growers Association. "In 2001, a range of various varietals, including Barbera, Grenache, Chardonnay, Sagrantino (a very uncommon Italian grape), Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache, were planted in our 11-acre award-winning vineyard in the Sierra Foothills. This property's unique location on top of a hill close to a large body of water, with morning fog, summer winds, and mild winters, is similar to the ideal Mediterranean climate and makes it suitable for the growing of grapes. At the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Tasting Competition and numerous other Competitions, our wines have taken home Double Gold and Best in Class awards ".
