 Altitude:2401 stands for our reserve wines and ties them to our Fair Play F arms Vineyard's average elevation of 2401 feet. The vineyard is one of the most modern farmed in the Sierra Foothills. It was planted 10 years ago and is over seen by Garrett Buckland our viticulturist from Napa, who works with some of California’s most popular wineries. Fair Play Farms Vineyard is the major grape source for Perry Creek Winery allowing us to produce wines that stand next to other great Californian wineries from all areasand to develop our distinct and unique style. The well drained decomposed granite soils and the complex microclimates in its different blocks resemble some great growing areas in the northern Rhone Valley of France. This is why Rhone varietals next to Zinfandel thrive up here to an elegant complexity only found in the Fair Play AVA.

The legend of ZINMAN can be traced back to the days of the gold rush. It was then that reports first trickled in of a mystical creature known to sprinkle “ZinDust” upon the vines of the Sierra Foothills. Over 150 years later, his work can still be experienced in a bottle of Zinman, one just has to close their eyes and enjoy all of the magical flavors that dance upon your palate.
ZINMAN is one of Perry Creek’s most recognized and highly successful signature series wines. It is rated among the top 15 best-value Zinfandels by Wine Spectator in 2010 and its popularity continues to grow year by year.
What makes it so special is the unique combination of spice and elegance in its flavors which stems from being produced in one of the best vineyards in the El Dorado County AVA. Its truly modern composition and sustainable farming practices makes it a must have for anyone’s dinner table.
ZINMAN’S colorful new label demonstrates all of the dynamics of one of the most awarded Zinfandels in the Sierra Foothills. Ar tistry combined with vibrancy created an image of ZINMANdancing in the vineyards on a starry evening, “ZinDust” in hand. Who knows, you may just be the one to find him on a warm, star-filled, full moon evening in August, when we go out in search of him in the vineyards with a glass of ZINMAN raised in his honor.

 Cobra - The "MUSCLE" wines of
Perry Creek Winery
Big, bold and powerful wines, crafted to perfection by the wine-making "technicians" at Perry Creek Winery. Produced in very limited quantities and available only to those with a passion for the
finer things in life. Only the ripest, hand selected grapes and best small oak barrels get used to produce these outstanding wines. The style of our Cobras can be described as traditional, benefitting from the optimum exposure of only outstanding vineyard blocks. Ageing in 35% new oak barrels for at least 24 months adds to complexity and richness.
