The color of this wine is truly immortal. Its rich, dark color goes on and on and on! The aromas of big, blackberry jam, and ripe strawberries, along with a dark berry medley and orange blossom honey marry together to put your olfactory senses into a new dimension. The palate is wrapped in a mysterious, velvety layered mix of sweet blackberries, strawberries, and blueberry compote followed by a healthy dose of chocolate on the finish.

The rich, mouth filling character that immediately jumps out at you is that of mom’s homemade baked blackberry pie! The wine has moderate oaky tannins and juicy acidity. This amazing old vine zinfandel will pair will all foods, from the gourmet burger on the grill to a nut crusted seared ahi.  

About the Winery:

In 1879, with only fifty dollars in his pocket, Giacomo Peirano, a grape farmer from Genoa, Italy, immigrated to San Francisco, CA, in the hopes of fulfilling the American dream of striking it rich with gold during the historic Gold Rush age. Soon realizing the days of really collecting a big share were no longer in sight, he decided to take whatever he had left of his fifty dollars and moved to Lodi, CA.

Over the years, the vineyards have grown to not only include the same naturally rooted, head trained Old Vine Zinfandel imported to the United States by Lance’s great grandfather, but Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Merlot, Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Malbec as well.
