The Winery:
There are actually two tasting room sites for Brice Station Vintners, the located at Vina Piazza and a estate tasting room, which is located just east of Murphys in Calaveras County. This is a colorful winery built on the old stage stop created by a deed signed by President McKinley. The estate is also home to the Quyle Pottery Kiln and some of the highest vineyards in the Sierra Foothills, at about 3300 feet in elevation.
|
The Vineyards:
The vineyard and winery specializes in Bordeaux style wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a Bordeaux Blend, High Country Red. The sustainable agricultural methods used by the Quyles as well as the long warm summer days and cool nights produce Bordeaux style grape varietals that are more reminiscent of France than California.
|
The Wines:
Brice Station specializes in the three primary Bordeaux varietals; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The high elevation of the Cabernet Franc vineyard produces elegant wines with flavors of blackberries and violets.
|
The Winemaker: The winemaker at Brice Station is Bill Bezy.
