I right away got the feel they just wanted people in and out, the wines were nothing exceptional, but OK. They are far more in to the ports and sparkling flavor wines while I prefer reds. The grounds are very nice, tons of grass and tables outdoors.

Last Sunday, we tasted most of their Reds. The zins were excellent. The grounds, their nearby plant nursery, and shops were outstanding. Their ports were sensational; the Angelica unquestionably an all time favorite!

About Winery and Wines

Ken Deaver stoops his broad shoulders to uncork a bottle of Zinfandel, wearing his trade- mark denims and cowboy hat, and you soon learn that Ken knows his wines. And his grapes. A drive over Deaver’s 300 acres will take you past 140-year-old Zinfandel vines and eight acres of Mission vines, so called because they were brought from Mexico by the Jesuits and Franciscans. The Deaver mission vines were planted around 1854 by Ken Deaver's great grandfather John Davis. His son, Ken's grandfather, planted the Zinfandel a decade later. For years, the Deaver's "old vine" grapes were sold exclusively to home winemakers. The first vintage of Deaver Vineyards Zinfandel was bottled under the “Lakeshore” label in 1985. Since then, Deaver Vineyards has become recognized the world over for its velvety Zinfandels. The Tuscan-style climate of Amador county is also perfect for producing classic Sangiovese, Barbera, and rich Ports.
