About Vines on the Marycrest
Vines on the Marycrest is named for the specific named parcel within the El Pomar District property — Marycrest, a block of land that carries a personal name given by the family that farmed it before the winery existed. The estate name says exactly what it is: the vines that grow on the Marycrest, no more and no less.
The El Pomar Drive estate produces Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Marycrest block and surrounding calcareous limestone estate vineyards. The topographically specific naming — these vines, on this named land — reflects a wine philosophy of place-exactitude: the wine expresses the Marycrest, and that is what matters.
The weekend walk-in tasting room is dog-friendly, picnic-welcoming, and family-hospitable on a scenic stretch of El Pomar Drive.
