The complexity of our Old Vine Zinfandel lies in the spicy notes that are unique to these historic properties. This vintage presents alluring aromatics of blackberry, boysenberry and dried cranberry with notes of cocoa powder, cardamom, vanilla bean and fine leather. On the palate, brambly layers of black cherry, blackberry and black raspberry come forward with nuances of nutmeg and white pepper. The wine is complex, with bright acidity complimented by a long, lingering finish. The tannins are structured, but soft, and lend a round, rich mouthfeel.

From vines averaging 100 years in age, this hearty wine brings blackberry jam, vanilla and black cherry to the fore. Thick tannins support a full-bodied palate, highlighted in black pepper and baking spice.

Deep ruby-purple, the 2017 Old Vine Zinfandel opens with aromas of stone fruit salad, spiced blueberries, boysenberry preserves, dried cranberry and red cherry with floral tones. Medium to full-bodied with pleasant chewiness and juicy acidity, it finishes very spicy. 1,500 cases produced.
