Flatridge Ranch is a secluded parcel in the coastal mountain range, west of the Rockpile AVA. Here, the Trione family planted a 10 acre vineyard in 2008. The vines are a unique Zinfandel selection called Saint Peter's Church, whose provenance is a 100-year-old block in Cloverdale, a small town north of Trione's Geyserville winery.
