7 Vines Vineyard

Hendry

Blocks 7 & 22 Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021

2021 vintage. The best, sub $20 resto cost Napa/Sonoma Zin I've had in ages. May hafta pick up a few cases. Excellent balance and concentration throughout. Gives me hope for CA Zinfandel that I've not had in nearly two decades. That's a whole lotta Zin under the bridge. 0 — 3 days ago

I love a good Zin but there is so much sweet, simple, jammy crap out there. Gotta stick with the classic producers.

This one is solid! They did a nice tasting in Saratoga, CA several months ago.

Bodegas Ateca

Atteca Calatayud Old Vines Garnacha 2019

😍 i’m always amazed with a few years in the bottle can do for a wine. The wine showed so much maturity. The flavors were perfectly integrated and nonexistent tannins but still displaying vibrant fruit. In the nose, there was waning blue and black berries tinge with cocoa powder. Absolutely delicious wish I had more. — 13 days ago

Bodegas Atalaya

Laya Old Vines Garnacha Blend 2017

Drinking the 2019 in late 2024. Deep rich color. Thin legs that quickly disappear. Light bouquet, lots of fruit notes. Smooth on the palette with light tannins and a slightly sweet finish. Nice wine! — 2 months ago

Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2023

2023 vintage. Concentrated, light-medium body with fruit darting amongst the layers of acidity. Crisp, slightly mineral and refreshing with a reminder that CA has just a bit more than chard and sauv blanc out there. These “old vines” planted in 1966. 01.08.25. — 24 days ago
