The Winery: Grey Fox Vineyards is proud to offer four main estate grown varietals: Sangiovese, Syrah, Barbera, and Zinfandel - very suitable to our warm climate. Smaller plantings of Grenache, Mouvedre, Dolcetto, Muscat and Viognier finish out the vineyard and allow for some creative blending. The Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet grapes come from the Mendocino area, which has the cooler conditions necessary to give Grey Fox the premium grapes needed to create these outstanding wines. The Vineyards: Is a joint venture of two couples Gary and Jeanne Cecchi who purchased 11 acres not far from Oroville.  Bruce and Patricia Arrigoni, joined forces and purchased 11 acres of land in the foothills east of Oroville.  About 4-5 acres is now planted to Sangiovese, Barbera, Syrah and Zinfandel. They do make some wine from purchased grapes.   The Wines: Today about five acres have been planted, with Muscat, Dolcetto, Grenache and Viognier added to the earlier varieties. The winery also purchases premium grapes from regions where the climate is better suited to growing them, such as chardonnay and merlot. Grey Fox has also produced two excellent dessert wines. One is a dark, rich and full-bodied Port Syrah. It is full of berry currant flavors and has a slight hint of chocolate. The other is a Moscato Dolce. It's a unique blend of Muscat, Viognier and Sultan grapes. The taste gives hints of peach, apricot and pineapple.
