2023 Zinfandel "Original Grandpère Vineyard"
Tasting notes
Zinfandel with spicy herbs and red fruit jam, but with a nice acidity. Black tea flavors in the nose, beautiful integration between wine and oak. The refined tannins make this elegant red wine a true representation of the Sierra Foothills.

Vineyard Notes
Planted around 1869, the Original Grandpère Vineyard is claimed to be one of the oldest documented Zinfandel vineyards in California and still in production today. It’s one of the true icons of the California Shenandoah Valley AVA. The dry farmed head-trained vines planted in sandy soils yield only around 2 tons per acre of concentrated and delicate fruit.
