DOVER CANYON is on Vineyard Drive in the northwest quadrant of the Paso Robles appellation. Dan Panico, owner and winemaker of Dover Canyon, has long believed that the northwest-running strip of calcareous soil along Vineyard Drive is optimum for growing Zinfandel and Rhône varieties. Our estate vineyard features head-pruned, dry farmed zinfandel and stress-irrigated syrah. Our production is focused on small lots of wine, often vineyard designated, from mountainous vineyards in the northwest corner of Paso Robles, centering around the Dover Canyon, Templeton Gap, and Adelaida districts. Dan is well known for producing wines with a silky, smoke-and-licorice profile and a focus on vineyard presence.
