Eno Wines

Damas Vineyard

• 

  This promising vineyard was named after the initials of the owners and their dog (Deborah And Mara And Scooter). Planted on hillside volcanic soil, it overlooks arguably the most famous Amador County vineyards, Eschen. In the 1970's, Ridge made a single vineyard designate from Eschen. Winemakers covet grapes from this prized Zinfandel region.

• Location

  

  The small gold rush community of Fiddletown is located in historic Amador County, California. When the creeks dried up during the summer months, miners spent their time "fiddlin’ around" Now the region is famous for its Zinfandel. In the 1970’s, a Sacramento school teacher stumbled upon an old vineyard. His resulting wine generated so much excitement, high-end wineries started making wines from this region.
