| Pezzi King Vineyards is located in a hanging valley high above the Dry Creek Valley. Planted on its steep slopes are some of the only hillside vineyards in Dry Creek. With an outstanding reputation for Zinfandel, winemaker Chris Barrett is also highly regarded for his Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Pezzi King's Old Vines Zinfandel is produced from the estate's 60 year old vines as well as vines over 100 years old grown on the renowned Serracino Vineyard. Jim Rowe, Sr. states his mission for Pezzi King Vineyards directly: "I wanted wines that would be considered among the best in the world. To accomplish this, I had to start with an excellent piece of land and add the right mix of talent and hard work. We'll continue to achieve excellence in everything we do." |
| The Rowes established Pezzi King Vineyards in 1993, when Jim discovered a beautiful vineyard nestled in the hills of Dry Creek Valley during a weekend visit from San Francisco. Aware of the vineyard's superior terroir and captivated by the site's natural beauty, he purchased the 137-acre estate and undertook its beautiful transformation into one of the leading producers of Zinfandel in the acclaimed Dry Creek Valley appellation. The first step was restoring the vineyard to its natural, unspoiled potential: Jim Rowe, Sr. immediately eliminated all use of chemicals and implemented all-natural farming techniques. His commitment to quality extended to the winery, as well, which they completely renovated with state-of-the-art equipment. Since 2006, Pezzi King Vineyards has won over 20 Gold medals in wine competitions and is among the highest rated Zinfandels in the world. |
