Enz

We are honored to work with the Enz family's pinot noir and old dry-farmed, head-trained mourvèdre, Cabernet Pfeffer, and Zinfandel planted more than century ago on the limestone and decomposed granite soils of the Lime Kiln Valley in the Cienega Valley, at the end of the road leading to Mt Harlan of Calera on the east side of the Gabilan range. Farmed by the Enz family since 1967, the oldest vines here date back to 1886.
