Vines of Distinction
Homefire Vineyard – We are showing that wines are better if they’re made from vineyards that use organic-style farming methods. Our initial collection of Zinfandel vines are from a St Peter’s Church clone originally grown outside a Cloverdale church in the early 1900s. Our soil is balanced using natural components including more than 12-tons of compost per acre to date.
Hales Vineyard – The old vines were planted in 1952. Half the vineyard is trellised, the other half, head pruned. Wilfred Wong calls the wine produced from these vines “classic Dry Creek Zin.”
Mia’s Secret – This vineyard lies on a slope 1,200 feet above the valley. You’ll cross a couple streams and a washed out road to get there. But Zinfandel grown there is unlike any we’ve tasted; rich, mountain fruit, dark berry flavors and an exotic essence unique to the site.

joy of discovery
Wine is more than a drink. From the moment you pull the cork out of the bottle, the wine’s aromas begin to seep from the opening. You may experience fresh berries, flowers or other fragrances unknown. Like any adventure, it’s yours to discover. Enjoy responsibly.
