The Vineyard

After leaving the newspaper buisness, Erika and Cam Campbell planted their 17 acres of vines in the low dessert just outside of the city called Sonora. When the Syrah from "Bill's Block" became available in this middle-of-nowwhere vineyard, it was the quality that blew us away! This land of cool nights, low rainfall, hot days, and the unique soil creates the perfect balance of acid and tannis.
