1880 Zinfandel

1880 Zinfandel This wine is an extremely limited production. Please contact us for purchasing information.

1880 Zinfandel

After Bill Greenough acquired Rancho Saucelito in 1974, he was faced with the arduous task of reviving three acres of abandoned Zinfandel vines planted in 1880. The roots of the century-old vineyard were still going strong without care or irrigation, but the vines were wild and choked with overgrowth. Clearing the land and retraining the vines was no easy task. Slowly but surely, however, Bill restored the old vineyard to its original head-pruned glory.

After Bill began making wine from the original vineyard as well as newer blocks he had planted, he noticed that the old-vine lots were different, with their own unique intensity of flavor and character. Over the years, friends encouraged Bill to bottle a wine made solely from these dry-farmed old vines. With the intent of keeping things simple, he never did—until the vintage of 2006. This vintage marked the 25th anniversary of Bill and Nancy’s commercial winemaking at Saucelito Canyon.

Made in limited quantities exclusively from the old vines at Saucelito Canyon, the 1880 Zinfandel is the crown jewel of our winery. This wine showcases the mature flavors, natural layered complexity and remarkable character that are inherent to these historic vines.

Due to its small production and high demand, the 1880 Zinfandel is offered first to our Club SCV members who opt to purchase it, with limited quantities also available in our tasting room. Please visit our Join The Club page for more information on the benefits of joining Club SCV.

2009 Dos Mas Zinfandel Blend $25.00 $20.00

2009 Dos Mas Zinfandel Blend

Zinfandel and two more. Or “dos más,” as they say in Spanish. Such was Winemaker Tom Greenough’s inspiration for this eclectic blend, which honors our winery’s historic focus on Zinfandel while embracing Grenache and Petite Sirah as contemporary soulmates. The result is a deliciously modern twist on the post rancho-era field blends of early California, sourced from standout vineyards in our backyard of San Luis Obispo County. The Zinfandel anchors the wine with a jammy, fruit-forward character. The Grenache adds a layer of bright red fruit, while the Petite Sirah adds peppery structure. Enjoy a glass. Or dos.

2009 Sauvage Estate $34.00 $27.20

2009 Sauvage Estate

Sauvage is a proprietary blend that celebrates the untamed terrain and natural flavors of our sustainably farmed estate vineyard in the upper Arroyo Grande Valley. Here, for more than 30 years, we have grown a selection of classic Bordelais varietals in a narrow sandy block that yields sparse, richly flavored clusters. This block is popular with the native wildlife, and deer, foxes, coyotes and even bears are routinely seen roaming around the vines. The grapes from this corner of the vineyard combine to create a smooth, supple blend with depth and complexity. While this wine will reward cellaring, those who like to walk on the wild side are encouraged to enjoy it in its youth.

Cabernet Sauvignon 26% • Cabernet Franc 33% • Merlot 36% • Malbec 5%

Whites and Blends

2009 Sauvage Blanc, Monterey Co. $22.00 $17.60

2009 Sauvage Blanc, Monterey Co.

The 2009 Sauvage Blanc belongs to our Sauvage series of red and white blends inspired by Bordelais grape varietals and traditions of South West France. Sauvignon Blanc derives its name from the words sauvage, for “wild,” and blanc, for “white” due to its early origins as an indigenous grape. Naturally, in our own efforts to tame this wild white grape, we took a cue from the French by blending it with Sémillon. The Sauvignon Blanc brings its signature crispness to the blend, while the Sémillon rounds out the flavor profile with a lush floral entry and hints of Bosc pear. Uncork now to enjoy this wine’s youthful freshness.
