Pescatore Vineyard is 5 acres and includes Syrah, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Barbera grapes. Â
The Syrah and Petite Sirah are on south facing slopes, getting the full benefit of the warm/hot summers. Â
The Zinfandel and Barbera are on an eastern slope that almost reaches the Auburn Ravine. This slope benefits from cooler air from the ravine and the shadows of the afternoon. This allows the fruit to hang a little longer and assures good balance between sugar and acid.
The vineyard's soil is decomposed granite, perfect for growing grapes, who love any soil but can't stand to be in flat water retention type soils. Â We drip irrigate during the June - Sept. timeframe.
