Dorcich Family Vineyard
The Ranch
Our estate vineyard lies on the east side of the Santa Cruz Mountains in the beautiful Uvas Valley just miles from the Monterey Bay. The Uvas River flows through the property year round with vines spanning both sides. The unique climate at this southern end of Santa Clara Valley consists of foggy mornings, hot dry days, and cool nights, creating ideal winegrowing conditions for multiple varietals.
The first vines were planted in 1989 and we continued to expand the vineyard over the following decade. We continuously modify the vineyard and our farming practices to ensure the perfect unity with the surroundings of our impressive Uvas Valley.
