Tasting Notes
Our Zinfandel is made from vines that have been in production for at least 40 years - and that means low production, exceptional concentration
and amazing depth. It’s powerful, jammy, spicy, toasty and thoroughly delicious. Zinfandel can be paired with spicy pasta, or a variety of meat dishes.

“Our Old Vine Zinfandel is made with grapes from Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley, and is widely recognized for it's powerful fruit, layers of complexity and supple tannins, vintage after vintage.”- Susie Selby
