The Casino Mine Ranch Winery grows and bottles ten estate wines in the Shenandoah Valley AVA of Amador County, California: Rhône, Italian and Spanish grapes first planted in 2012 on granite and quartz soils in the Sierra Foothills. Winemakers Andy Erickson, Jessica Tarpy Shaheen and Nick Finarelli make every wine from our own fruit, from our own cellar.
2022 Casino Mine Ranch Grenache Blanc, Shenandoah Valley, Amador County
Our 2022 Grenache Blanc is a textured, mineral-driven winter white, crafted for depth and balance. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in neutral French oak, the wine underwent extended bâtonnage and aged for fourteen months, building richness without sacrificing precision. Pale lemon in the glass with flecks of gold, it opens slowly to aromas of acacia blossom, wet gravel, and stone fruit. The palate is rich yet focused, layering ripe apple, apricot, citrus peel, and subtle anise. Herbal notes and gravelly minerality bring lift and structure, carried by balanced acidity and a generous, unctuous texture.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 growing season delivered steady conditions that allowed for even ripening and preserved freshness, resulting in a wine of both weight and clarity.
Food Pairing
A natural fit for the table. Shines with carbonara, where its richness mirrors the dish while acidity keeps things bright, or with miso-butter black cod, cutting cleanly through the fish’s savory depth.

Casino Mine Ranch is an estate vineyard located in the Sierra Foothills of Amador County. The winery - a century old ranch that was once mined for gold — is owned and managed by fourth-generation California brothers, Jim and Rich Merryman.
The vineyard is planted and farmed to best harness the potential of the site, through thoughtfully selected grape varietals. In keeping with the family’s pioneering spirit, the Merryman’s partnered with the highly acclaimed winemaking team of Andy Erickson and Jessica Tarpy who share a passion for great wines from special sites. Together with their commitment to hard work, connection to the land, and passion to produce the best wine possible they are pursuing a legacy that honors the history, family, and the land.
We invite you to visit our Amador County ranch. You can taste our rare and exceptional wines in our private cellar, and you can step into our wine cave, originally carved out by miners.
“This is Gold Country. So there are all these great mineral deposits: Quartz that sparkles, and volcanic rock, and ash. And the wine caves—these are not Napa Valley caves—are former mine caves, carved out of the hills.” Andy Erickson, Consulting Winemaker
