DenBeste Vineyards is a small, family-owned winery that
has approximately four acres of Zinfandel in the northern
section of wine-rich Alexander Valley. This area is the
largest grape growing region in Sonoma County and the
northern portion is commonly referred to the place where
the vineyards meet the redwoods. The location of the
vineyard is nestled on the eastern side of the north
valley between the historic town of Asti and the rustic
city of Cloverdale. The vines were originally planted in
1957 as Carignane but were switched to Zinfandel in 1983
by Paul DenBeste. While managing this vineyard, Paul
worked at the Italian-Swiss colony in local Asti for over
two decades. It has since been passed on to Paul’s
brother, Jim and our first bottling occurred in 2003. This
historic bottling would not have been a reality if not for
the help of William and Lori DenBeste.
