Back in 1998 the Schmidheiny family purchased the Brandlin Vineyard which is perched high atop Mount Veeder. This site was amazingly first planted back in 1926 and dates back to the 1870s, when the Brandlin family emigrated from Switzerland. The vineyard now has an additional 38 acres of vines planted to Bordeaux varietals. The site sits at 900-1250 feet and is set on a Ridgeline with a southern facing aspect. 30 acres here are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon but interestingly enough they also have 11 acres planted to Zinfandel.
