About Clos Saron
Clos Saron is a dedicated estate winery in the Sierra Foothills wine region in the Gold Country of California, producing wines that reflect the character of decomposed granite soils and old-vine heritage from the Gold Rush era. Clos Saron combines the French clos (the enclosed vineyard, the walled estate in the Burgundian tradition) with Saron — . The estate's commitment to quality viticulture and site-specific winemaking has earned Clos Saron a respected place among the region's most consistent and genuinely food-friendly producers.

Decomposed granite soils and old-vine heritage from the gold rush era define the estate's vineyard character, contributing the structure, natural acidity, and terroir specificity that distinguish the finest wines from this appellation. Zinfandel, Barbera, and Rhône varieties form the backbone of the portfolio, with each variety expressing a distinct facet of the estate's unique growing conditions. Winemaking at Clos Saron prioritizes transparency and balance over extraction, allowing the appellation's natural character to lead rather than winemaker intervention.
