Sarah's Vineyard, BW4868 is a premium winery founded in the Hecker Pass area of Santa Clara Valley, California, in 1978.
History edit
In 1977 Marilyn Clark and John Otterman bought a 10 acre property off Hecker Pass Road, which they named Sarah's Vineyard. They established a premium winery using purchased fruit and planted 7 acres of Chardonnay, from which the first Estate vintage was made in 1983. The winery quickly established a reputation for wines of richness and depth with good aging potential. Production soon grew to around 2000 cases. At a time when the Hecker Pass area had a fairly lackluster reputation the winery stood out as a premium producer. However as time went on the price increased drastically while the quality became more variable. By the late 1990s the Estate Chardonnay cost $45 or more a bottle, but was only getting 80 points when reviewed by Wine Spectator.
