VINEYARD PROFILES

Ranchita Canyon Vineyard

Overview
The original vineyard was planted in 1970, and there are still 14 acres from that planting -- 5 acres Zinfandel, and 9 acres Petite Sirah. There have been additional plantings over the years, and we now have 10 different varietals planted. We are primarily growers, and sell about 90% of our wine grapes to other wineries.

Location
We are in the Paso Robles appelation, and are northeast of Paso Robles, and east of San Miguel.
