Sawtooth Vineyard
This estate-vineyard for Sawtooth Winery is one of the warmer sites in Idaho. This site is well suited for Cabernet Sauvignon, rather than the traditional "cooler" sites in Idaho. Other varietals planted at Sawtooth Vineyard include Cabernet Franc, Roussannne, Pinot Gris, Syrah, and Merlot.
Skyline Vineyard
One of the newest and largest plantings of wine grapes in Idaho, Skyline Vineyard lends itself to many different varietals. With south, west, north and east facing slopes, the micro-climate differs greatly at the site, allowing for a wide selection of varietals to be planted. The south and west facing slopes are the warmer areas of the vineyard, better suited for vinifera grapes which thrive on the long, hot days of the Idaho summers, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Whereas the east and north facing slopes are ideal for varieties requiring more vigor and cooler climates, such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.
