The vineyard, a remnant of a once larger one, was planted around 1900 then taken over years later by a retiring Swiss immigrant dairyman named John Valsecchi (pronounced Valsecky). Today, the vineyard is still in the same family and is looked after by Valsecchi’s grandson, Ron Mick. Ron, a home winemaker, is dedicated to making a great wine from the vineyard and works with us to ensure the grapes are as good as can be.

The uniqueness of Valsecchi is enhanced by the fact that it is the oldest vineyard in the Carneros Appellation and one of the cool district’s few Zin vineyards.

The Valsecchi is characterized by heady aromas of wild berries and cocoa, subtle mint, deep dark berry flavors, plump and round texture, and a satisfying finish.

3-4 years for best drinking.
