About Shake Ridge Ranch
Shake Ridge Ranch is named for the Shake Ridge — the distinctive geological formation above the Shenandoah Valley where fractured, shaken volcanic rock creates an unusually complex soil mosaic. Ann Krauss's estate sits at 1,500 feet in the hills above Plymouth, where the ridge's fractured terrain contributes mineral complexity that the valley floor cannot replicate.
The estate produces Zinfandel, Syrah, Barbera, and Grenache from estate Amador County vineyard blocks with the ridge-terrain philosophy the name implies. Wine Advocate has scored Shake Ridge Ranch's Zinfandel and Syrah at 91–95 points, placing it among the Sierra Foothills' most critically acclaimed boutique estates.
