and winemaking, Robert Reyes envisioned having a small vineyard to
produce small amounts of ultra premium wines for family and friends.
However, in 2002 when he purchased the beautiful piece of land where the
vineyard is located today, the vision changed from a personal hobby to a
winery. The 16-acre vineyard was personally planted by Robert Reyes and
the Reyes family in April of 2004, and consists of five popular grape
varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Muscat.
The first crop was harvested in 2005, and produced a very small amount.
While the winery went through the rigorous permit process in Los Angeles
County, the vineyard matured, and the quality of the fruit progressively
improved significantly with each subsequent vintage. This led to better,
more robust and elegant wines. The winery has produced some blends and
created four award-winning dessert wines, a White Port (White Delight),
2 red Ports (Agua Dulce Delight) and Sweet Serenity ( a Muscat port) as
well as a great Rose. The winery is located in Northern Los Angeles
County, California, in the small town of Agua Dulce, only 45 minutes
from Downtown Los Angeles, and is situated within the newly established
Sierra Pelona Valley Appellation. Reyes Winery has already won 49 medals
on its wines during the last three years since the wines have been
available commercially. (ADDED: October 30, 2014)
