Black Sheep Winery arrived in Murphys with the 1984 harvest. Our founders Janis and David Olson crushed their first Zinfandel, with assistance from current owner and winemaker, Steve Millier. The wine was styled in a big, bold way like nobody else could do. That's what makes us Black Sheep; we're different from the rest of the flock.
In 2007 David and Janis decided to retire and ride their bicycles into the sunset, they decided to turn over the Black Sheep legacy to their good friends Steve and Liz Millier. We are very familiar with the Black Sheep style, and are excited to carry on the tradition.
Steve Millier has had a very distinguished career for over 30 years. He began his journey at the David Bruce Winery in 1975, and has continued to make award winning wines for a variety of wineries including Stevenot, Ironstone and Milliaire.
Zinfandel is the bedrock of what we're about and each year we produce two Zinfandels from distinctly different vineyards in two regions of the Sierra Foothills. Over the years we have expanded our offerings to include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and our Port style dessert wine - Fortissimo.
We welcome guests daily from 11 to 5 at our tasting room on Main Street in Murphys, CA. Stop by and sample our fantastic new releases!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
