The epitome of mature vine, regional Zinfandel, our Sonoma County Zinfandel "Old Vine" has become recognized by most as our flagship product. Many even opine that, dollar for dollar, it's the best wine we offer. Fruit for this wine is harvested from mature vineyards - primarily 60-80 years of age - that range from Cloverdale in the north of Sonoma County, to Sonoma Valley at the southern end, and Dry Creek Valley (west of Healdburg) in between. After crushing, the must is fermented in open wood fermentation vats using the natrual ambient yeasts native to each vineyard site. Aging in French oak, new and used, from various coopers for roughly 16 months, contributes to the internal complexities of flavor and aroma - they are substantial.
