Located adjacent to CAST Wines, the Watson vineyard was planted in the early 1970’s by Allan and Patricia Watson. The Watson’s purchased this 25 acres to serve as their retirement from San Francisco where Allan was an executive at investment firm Hambrecht & Quist. Six acres are planted entirely to Zinfandel which has been the source of CAST Wines’ Old Vine Zinfandel since 2012. At roughly 30 years older than CAST’s estate vineyard, these vines offer a terrific comparison and testament to the impact of time on grape quality.
