2022 Old Vine Zinfandel, Napa Valley
85% Zinfandel, 15% “Mixed Blacks” Field Blend
This Zinfandel showcases the unique terroirs of Napa Valley. Fruit is sourced from Morgan Vineyard, known for its cool climate and ripe fruit, and Godward Vineyard, where older vines impart concentrated flavors. It is further enhanced by fruit from our estate’s ‘Mixed Blacks’ vineyard, a field blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Carignan.
The nose presents a compelling blend of blackberry jam and red cherry, sharpened by a bright pepper. On the palate, find notes of black plum and savory dried herbs, which extend into a medium-long finish echoing the peppery lift and ripe fruit.

Winemaker Notes
From the moment you bring this Zinfandel to your nose, you’ll find a blend of bold aromas: blackberry jam, red cherries, and white pepper spice. On the palate, black plum and dried herbs take center stage, perfectly balanced by the influence of our Fusion barrel oak. The savory notes from the American oak, the sweet spice from the Hungarian oak, and the smooth finish from the French oak all work in harmony, creating a truly memorable tasting experience.
Food Pairing Notes
Barbequed pork ribs with dry spice rub served with corn bread. The smoky meat and sweet-tart flavors enchance the wine’s ripe fruit and peppery notes.
