Sierra Foothills is a sub-zone and American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the northwestern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Smaller in size than the North Coast - but not by much - the area boasts a fraction over one million hectares (of which around two-thousand-five-hundred are planted with vines), and produces high quality, good value wines principally from the Zinfandel grape.
