Dedicated grape-growers Erika and Cam Cambell farm their 17 acres of vines in the low desert just outside of the city called Sonora. These pioneers of growing grapes in this area have consistently provided quality Syrah and Tempranillo from High Cross Vineyard, and the cool nights matched with hot days and little rainfall give these grapes their very own taste of Texan terroir.
