About the vineyard
Flat Creek Vineyard (FCV) is a 20-acre vineyard named after the seasonal creek that runs through the property, located at the base of Mt. Aukum in the Fairplay AVA. We are seeking winery owners and winemakers who are also looking to make high-quality, award winning wines from grapes sold at reasonable prices. We grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier, Petit Sirah and Zinfandel. Our goal is to grow the best wine grapes possible to maximize the quality of the fruit in order to make the very best wine ever produced in this area. Our fruit has produced several 90+ wines in Wine Enthusiast.

As winemakers of our estate grapes, we are emphasizing quality over quantity. We thin grapes to no more than 2 to 2.5 tons/acre and strive to produce a fruit-forward grape with perfect brix, pH and TA for winemakers. This grape produced one of the highest scoring Cabernet Sauvignon wines ever produced in the Sierra Foothills. The '17 vintage was given 93 points by Wine Enthusiast.
