Latcham Vineyards
Latcham Vineyards operates in California's Sierra Foothills, a region defined by elevation, diurnal temperature swings, and volcanic soils that shape distinctive wine character. The winery produces Sauvignon Blanc with the mineral precision and aromatic intensity the variety demands in cool-climate settings. Its Zinfandel program—both standard and Special Reserve expressions—draws on the Sierra Foothills' reputation for Zinfandel with structure and depth. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Sauvignon Blanc at 89 points and the Zinfandel at 87 points, with the Special Reserve Zinfandel at 84.3 points. The winery's focus on these varieties reflects both regional suitability and the particular terroir of the Sierra Foothills, where elevation and soil composition create conditions for wines of balance and complexity.
