Scott Harvey
Scott Harvey produces Zinfandel from Amador County in California's Sierra Foothills, a region defined by old-vine vineyards and warm, mineral-rich soils. The winery's portfolio centers on this single varietal: the 1869 Zinfandel, Old Vine Reserve Zinfandel, and InZINerator each represent distinct expressions of the grape across the appellation's diverse microclimates. Zinfandel thrives in these conditions, developing the dark fruit intensity and structural complexity the region is known for. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated the winery's releases, with the 1869 and Old Vine Reserve bottlings earning particular recognition among prestige critics. The focus on Zinfandel—and specifically on old-vine fruit—reflects both the Sierra Foothills' viticultural identity and a commitment to the varietal's potential in this high-elevation terrain.
