WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

This bold 2017 Old Vine Zinfandel comes from several vineyards in Lodi, Clarksburg, and Contra Costa County. A majority of the Zinfandel is sourced from old blocks of head trained vines planted in the 60’s and 80’s in the Mokelumne district of Lodi, which gives the blend brambly fruit nuances with just a touch of pepper spice. The Petite Sirah from Clarksburg, adds excellent depth to the blend with great acidity, structure and blackberry fruit notes. Tempranillo from the Manna Vineyard in Lodi adds red fruit and finesse. Finally, a pinch of Tannat from Clarksburg and Mourvèdre from Contra Costa add a touch of depth and spice respectively.
