With a range of redwood hills between Dry Creek and the sea, the Dry Creek Valley offers winegrowers the best of both worlds: warm days to ripen the grapes, and cool nights to rest the vines.

Recognized as the ultimate "sweet spot" for Zinfandel, the Dry Creek Valley is the original home of Rancho Zabaco. Silt, gravel, and loam characterize the soils along the valley floor, while the ample benchlands on the east side of the creek offer rockier, less fertile soils that make vines work harder for a foothold and a drink of water. This extracts a greater depth of fruit flavors and complexity that give our wines the structure and balance they deserve.
An intensely robust wine with dense flavors of black and blue fruit of dark cherry, ripe plum, and cassis. More notes.
