Dancing Crow Vineyards
Dancing Crow Vineyards operates in Lake County, part of California's North Coast region. The winery focuses on Rhône and Mediterranean varietals, with particular emphasis on Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel. The Volcano Ridge Cuvée Red—a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah—represents the winery's core expression, while Old Stake 1901 Vineyard showcases a more complex field blend drawing from seven varietals including Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, and Primitivo. A straight Zinfandel rounds out the portfolio. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases. Lake County's warm days and volcanic soils support the ripeness these varietals demand, and the winery's selections reflect both classical Rhône proportions and the broader Mediterranean palette that thrives in the region.
