Why This Region Matters

Dry Creek Valley is the spiritual home of California Zinfandel, a compact, sun-drenched valley northwest of Healdsburg where gnarled old vines produce some of the most characterful Zin in the state. The warm days and gravelly benchland soils also yield bright Sauvignon Blanc and structured Cabernet, all from a tight-knit community of mostly family-owned wineries.
