Oldest vineyard in the Rockpile AVA. Dry farmed. 20% whole cluster. Aged in 500L puncheons. Super long and persistent. Loaded with fine grain tannins. Dense.

Jammy red fruit but fresh & light for a Zin. Slightly brambly, juicy, delicious.

Blackberry tinged with raspberry with a tangy finish that helps it pair very well with food. Another winner from Kenny.

A unique and strange nose. Leather and crab apples. Has a sweet tart flavor. Raspberry and tasty tart pie cherries. WTF? This is Zin? It’s like a Barbera, Chianti, Valdigué, Zin.

Dec 19th, 2017Smokey and herbal nose. Flavor is juicy and ripe, but tart and zingy too. Best of the coast zin fruit with plenty of tannin and some great acid. Almost a Pinot-zin mate.
