The vast range includes Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs and other blends. The Mother Clone vineyard is one of the estate's most prized plots. It is home to some of the original Zinfandel vines which can be over 100 years old. The winery also purchases grapes from various other Dry Peak vineyards such as the Bushnell Vineyard and the F. Johnson Vineyard. It sources Pinot Noir from properties in the Russian River Valley. The vineyards are managed sustainably with particular sensitivity to the environment. This approach includes soil management, water management, pest management and general habitat management. The winery has an onsite tasting room for visitors. The history of the business can be dated back to 1927 when Giovanni and Julia Pedroncelli decided to buy a hillside property in Geyerserville with 25 acres dedicated to Zinfandel. The business is still owned by their descendants. In the early years, the business survived prohibition by selling grapes to home winemakers and when prohibition was lifted in the '30s, Giovanni was quick to apply for a license to legally produce wine.
