About Narrow Gate Vineyards
Narrow Gate farms El Dorado by conviction: the Pleasant Valley estate is biodynamically farmed, among the Sierra's few, growing Rhone varieties and Zinfandel with the dove on the label signaling the founders' faith-inflected stewardship ethic. The biodynamic rigor shows in wines of freshness and detail, and the estate's quiet welcome fits the name. Farming as devotion, either sense.
