The Winery: Located on the same road as Alger Vineyards, the winery is also found in the same beautiful volcanic valley surrounded on three sides by volcanic cones. There is currently no tasting room at the winery, but appointments can be made for a tour and wine tasting.
|
The Vineyards: The first vineyards were planted in the well-drained volcanic soils. The 2200 foot elevation comes with a cooling influence from the altitude of the vineyards that helps increase hang time. They currently grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc and hope to soon offer three varietals for sale at the winery as they experiment with the location.
|
The Wines: The wines of Indian Peak are mostly Bordeaux in style with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The wonderful grape hang times allowed by the cooling influences make for wines with a nice complexity and deeper fruit flavors.
|
The Winemaker: the Winemaker at Indian Peak is Fred Boots. Fred spent his early career years in Vacaville and Napa learning a great deal about winemaking while working in the industry in Napa and Sonoma.
