Almond Hill is a small vineyard owned and operated by husband and wife Dennis Van Westerhuyzen and Nicole Cavier. It is located on the west side of Paso Robles and hwy 101, midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles amid 9 acres of scenic rolling hills, almond orchards, and vineyards. In June, 2000, we planted the first 2½ acres in Syrah grapes, grafted to 1103P rootstock, on a modified quadrilateral trellis system. We planted an additional 4½ acres of the same Syrah and 1 acre of Petite Sirah in June of 2004, all on the same rootstock.
We are limiting our production to 3 tons per acre to maintain a high quality fruit production. Our harvests have produced wine of outstanding character. Our 2005 Syrah won a Bronze Medal, our 2006 Syrah a Hororable Mention and our 2007 Petite Sirah won a gold medal at the California Mid-State Fair in 2008
