About Us

Our Story

Estate Winemaking

For decades, Perry Creek Winery has nurtured a rich legacy among the ancient oaks and rolling hills of Fair Play. Today, that legacy transforms under a new banner—Zin Man LLC—while honoring the art of estate winemaking and the allure of the Dark Forest.

 

Our vineyards, perched at the forest's edge in El Dorado County, produce outstanding Zinfandel and varietals that encapsulate the spirit of this rugged Sierra Foothills terroir. Each bottle tells a tale of patience, craftsmanship, and the enchanting synergy of nature and tradition.

 

The Zin Man remains a mysterious figure—spotted only at twilight among the vines, leaving behind echoes and exquisite wine.

 

Estate Crafted

Every wine we produce is meticulously handpicked and crafted on-site. From vine to bottle, the Zin Man’s expertise shapes every vintage.

 

Sierra Foothills Terroir

Fair Play’s unique fusion of elevation, volcanic soils, and refreshing forest breezes yields wines of remarkable depth and character.

 

Continuing the Legacy

While our name has evolved we honor the history of PC, our commitment to quality remains steadfast. Once again, join the family that gave you Perry Creek Winery as we write new chapters in the Dark Forest.
