OVERVIEW
Producer Story
Sobon Family Estates
Established in 1989, Sobon Family Estates purchased a winery with roots dating back to 1856 making it one of the oldest wineries in California. Winning several accolades, their wines have captured the tastes of many - especially its outstanding family of Zinfandels that capture the rich, soft flavors of the Amador County terroir. Winemaker Paul Sobon is dedicated to continuing the tradition of old vine Zinfandel to produce big, dark red wines that are elegant, intense in color and flavor while being true to the land.
With a proud heritage, the family-owned and operated winery continues to uphold its longstanding legacy cultivating some of the best wine grapes of the region, all sustainably and organically farmed.
Geography
The Sierra Foothills were first famous for gold, but the appellation is now considered a highlight of California wine country. The Gold Rush, beginning in 1849, brought thousands of diggers and dreamers to the area. Vines, mostly Zinfandel, were planted to produce wine for the thirsty miners, and in time more than 100 wineries existed in this cool, craggy region. But the waning of the Gold Rush, and Prohibition, signaled a halt to the production of Sierra Foothills wine for many years.
Varietal / Type
Sauvignon Blanc is an international white grape variety that originates in France. It’s long been used to make world-class wines from Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Yet in recent decades, Sauvignon Blanc has become an everyday favorite thanks to the New World winemakers of New Zealand.
With its distinctive, vivid aromas and zesty acidity, Sauvignon Blanc is easy to peg in a blind tasting of dry white wines. The wine’s green, herbaceous and fruity scents are sometimes accented with musky aromas, yet its flavors are consistently fresh and bright.
