Shale Canyon Wines

Arroyo Seco AVA

“Every small vineyard is unique, and ours is no exception. Located in the upper portion of the Arroyo

Seco Canyon, the warmer climate is best suited for growing Bordeaux style and other warm climate

grapes. The geology of the site is best exemplified by the bluffs on our label, a huge section of seafloor,

heaved up over 600 million years ago, creating the greater canyon and the topography that make our

vineyard location one of a kind….”

“Shale Canyon Wines started vinting small lots of hand crafted varietals in 2008. When we stated, our

main focus was on 100% varietal wines such as Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,

Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. Our estate fruit is hand harvested and fermented in small

batches.

“Current production is about 1000+ cases per year with our main focus on producing wines that have

outstanding nose, mouth feel and finish. For the Estate wines we are currently growing Cabernet

Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Petite Sirah and Mourvèdre. We source fruit

from larger, well established vineyards whose farming practices are exemplary in the industry and

whose fruit is second to none. The varietals include Syrah, Malbec, Chardonnay and Petite Sirah. We

enjoy making classic and unique blends as well. Our Consortium is a classic blend of Cabernet

Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The Striation is 75% Zinfandel and 25% Mourvedre, a wonderful

floral wine. And Amalgamation, a very interesting blend of Zinfandel, Tempranillo and Petite Sirah…”
