About the Vineyard:
Along California’s central Coast, the Paso Robles appellation of San Luis Obispo County provides an ideal climate for growing Petite Sirah. A dry climate with warm days and cool nights allows complete maturation and flavor development of the grapes. The Steinbeck Vineyard is located on a north-facing hillside. The Diablo soil is deep and well drained with weathered calcareous sandstone and shale below a surface layer of dark clay.
