Select lots from Saucelito Canyon Vineyard have been reunited with grapes from our neighboring vineyard, Rancho Arroyo Grande, to create this robust Zinfandel. These two vineyards were first united in the late 1880's when Rosa Ditmas, homesteader of Rancho Saucelito, and A.B. Hasbrouck, owner of Rancho Arroyo Grande, were married. Together, they produced wine from these "Dos Ranchos" until 1915. Today, Saucelito Canyon blends the history and grapes from these two historic ranches to craft our dry farmed, head pruned "Dos Ranchos" Zinfandel.

Sweet and luscious, with densely layered flavors of blackberry, boysenberry and brown sugar. An excellent complement to dark chocolate desserts, rich bread pudding or as a dessert unto itself. Unfined and unfiltered, only 91 cases produced.

Late Harvest Zinfandel is a specialty at Saucelito Canyon Vineyard. Using highly ripened, whole grape clusters and fermenting them in a closed, anaerobic environment, a technique known as carbonic maceration, we are able to produce a dessert wine with unusual freshness.

The Santa Lucia Highlands is an ideal growing region for Riesling. Its marine moderated climate and sandy gravel soils deliver a crisp acidity and firm minerality to the wine. Crafted in the classic off-dry style, with a bouquet of bright apricot and passion fruit, our Riesling is an excellent match for fresh California Golden Trout or South Pacific Ahi. Enjoy this rare treat from your winemaker and avid fisherman.
