About Sarah’s Vineyard
First planted in 1978 in the Hecker Pass district of Santa Clara Valley AVA by Marilyn “Sarah” Otterman. With early critical acclaim Sarah’s Vineyard quickly gained a following and became known for their Chardonnays and Pinot Noir. The property was purchased by current owner/winemaker, Tim Slater in 2001. Over the ensuing years, Tim expanded the original plantings from 10 to 24 acres and followed his passion to include traditional Rhone varietals and additional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Tim also seeks out high quality grapes from grower in several regional AVAs like Santa Cruz Mtns and Santa Lucia Highlands for limited production runs. Sarah’s Vineyard has been recognized for producing high quality wines by industry publications like Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator and Vinious as well as many lifestyle publications.
