Winemaker Sara Fowler
Sara Fowler's passion for Bordeaux varietals and knack for innovative blending make her the perfect fit to lead Peju’s winemaking team.<br><br>Sara cut her teeth in the wine industry as a seasonal member of the Kendall-Jackson Winery staff during high school and college. But she was no stranger to agriculture. Her family has owned and operated a 400-acre organic ranch dating back to 1884. <br><br>Sara began to help plant wine grapes on their organic ranch, taking a very active role in their new venture - choosing the varietals and rootstock, installing the drip tubing and eventually pruning the vineyard. At the same time, she also served as an Enologist Assistant during crush at Kendall-Jackson. <br><br>Soon after, she began studying viticulture at Fresno State and doubled as a research assistant for the Viticulture Enology Research Center (VERC). She went on to work for seven-plus years as the Associate Winemaker at Franciscan and Mt. Veeder Winery and abroad during the 2002 harvest season in Chile for Veramonte.<br>She also played a role in the terroir-driven Bordeaux blends of Quintessa and Estancia from 1999 to 2002, where she was able to utilize her talent for blending and creating Meritage wines.<br><br>In September 2007, Sara headed Peju’s efforts to gain organic certification in the Rutherford Vineyard and she is overseeing the winery’s sustainable farming efforts in the Persephone and Wappo Vineyards with organic certification goals in the near future. <br>
