About the winery

In 2004 Green Family Winery was a small family winery north of Auburn, at 1,400 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills, specializing in Syrah and Barbera from its own vineyards, by its own account on Web Winery3. The vines were planted from 1992 to 1994, with several clones of each grape, and the winery made small lots of Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel when good local fruit was available. It farmed sustainably, used traditional methods in the cellar, and said its wines were "neither fined, filtered or fiddled with"3. A winter page from 2004 followed George cane-pruning the vines and topping up the barrels4.
