- GENERAL AVA DESCRIPTION -
CALIFORNIA SHENANDOAH VALLEY AVA
Winemaking traditions and ancient vines flourish in California’s Gold Country - Tim Fish, Wine Spectator
The California Shenandoah Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area that includes portions of Amador County and El Dorado County, California, USA. The region was first settled during the California Gold Rush in the nineteenth century, and settlers in the region began planting the first grapevines and producing the first wine soon thereafter. In the 1970s, Sutter Home Winery began bottling varietal Zinfandel wines made from Shenandoah Valley grapes, and in 1983 the region became a designated AVA. The most important grape varietal in the region is Zinfandel.
It’s rather like Napa or Sonoma 50 years ago, except you don’t leave the tasting room with a jug of hearty red. That’s the appeal of the foothills, located in historic Gold Country, about a two-hour drive northeast of San Francisco. The area is still unpolished and eccentric in character, but the wines offer an authentic sense of place. And while many of them are of ordinary quality, there is a small but influential group of wineries that are raising the bar. “Even though a lot of wineries have been here a long time, these are still the early days up here,” says Jonathan Lachs, owner and winemaker of Cedarville Vineyard.
Indeed, people have been growing grapes and making wine in the Sierra Foothills since the Gold Rush days; D’Agostini Winery (now Sobon Estate) was founded in 1856, near several early gold-mining boomtowns. Many of the fortune seekers had European backgrounds and a taste for wine. They planted vineyards, but when the gold petered out and the mines began closing, the wine industry fell dormant. “This was basically a wide-open area, with prostitution, gambling and bootlegging all the way until about 1959,” says Bill Easton, winemaker at Terre Rouge-Easton winery.
It wasn’t until the 1970s that the local wine industry began to experience a revival, and the Sierra Foothills AVA was approved. It’s the third largest in California, encompassing about 2.6 million sparsely planted acres and including a number of subappellations, most prominently Shenandoah Valley, Amador, El Dorado and Fair Play.
