About Schermeister Winery
Schermeister Winery is the German-heritage family estate of the Schermeister family — their surname placed on a Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and Petite Sirah program that reflects the family's commitment to one of California's most historically significant wine appellations. The Schermeister name carries the directness of German family-estate naming: this wine is the family's responsibility, the family's accountability, the family's declaration.
The West Dry Creek Road estate produces old-vine Zinfandel and Petite Sirah from heritage vine blocks in the Dry Creek Valley with the appointment-only focus that serious old-vine estate farming deserves. The Dry Creek Valley's warm-day cool-evening growing conditions and well-drained hillside soils produce Zinfandel of concentrated, structured character that the Schermeister family's German attention to quality amplifies.
The German-heritage family name on a California Zinfandel estate is itself a declaration of California's multicultural agricultural history.
