Old Vine Zinfandel

Zinfandel · Dry Creek Valley AVA

Tasting Notes

brambledried cherryblack peppervanillatobacco

Head-trained vines planted in 1948 on rocky benchland soils. These survivors yield tiny clusters of intensely flavored fruit. We handle them with the reverence they deserve — minimal intervention, whole-cluster fermentation, and patient barrel aging.

Nose

Exuberant and generous — wild bramble and fresh-baked pie give way to vanilla bean, clove, and a wisp of tobacco.

Palate

Round and lush, with the characteristic jammy richness balanced by firm acidity and fine-grained tannins. The old vine concentration is unmistakable.

Finish

Warm and lingering with a peppery spice note that carries through.

Food Pairings

BBQ brisket
Pizza Margherita
Beef chili
Dark chocolate tart

Cellar Notes

"Old Vine Zinfandel is best enjoyed between 2025 and 2034. Decant for 45 minutes if drinking young. Serve at 60–65°F in a Bordeaux glass."
