2011 Old Vine Zinfandel

Vineyard Notes

The organically farmed Nova Vineyard lies on a gradual slope ofbenchland in the Kelseyville area of Lake County. For more than 40years, these head-trained, dry-farmed Zinfandel vines have takendeep root in the site's volcanic soils.

Old vines like these naturally reduce their own yields, producingfewer and fewer clusters as the years go by. These clusters alsobecome smaller with each year, and the heightened juice-to-skinratio greatly intensifies Zinfandel's rich, varietalcharacteristics.

Wine Notes

Our 2011 Zinfandel was hand harvested on October 19th. Afterhand-sorting and destemming the clusters, we gave the grapes afive-day, whole-berry cold soak for maximum flavor and colorextraction. After fermenting the wine for about one week instainless steel, we aged it for 10 months in 30% new French oak toadd complexity to the rich fruit character.

True to its varietal, this Zinfandel exhibits ripe aromas andflavors of raspberry, black cherry and pomegranate. Silky fromentry to finish, well balanced and good acid make it a perfect foodwine.
