Switchback Ridge Wines are sourced exclusively from the
Peterson Family Vineyard in Calistoga. The property has been in the
Peterson family since 1914 and encompasses nearly 100 acres located at
the mouth of Dutch Henry Canyon. For over 75 years the property was
primarily maintained as a farm and plum orchard, with vines intermingled
amongst the trees. In 1990, the orchards were replanted to vineyard,
where there are currently 18 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and
Petite Sirah vines, in addition to a three acre 50+ year old Petite
Sirah block that John Peterson helped plant as a child.
