Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

Grapes were primarily estate-grown from old head-pruned vineyards in the Dry Creek bench and the cooler southwest Alexander Valley. The average age of the vines is approximately 70 years old. The wine was barrel-aged for 15 months in a mix of French, American and European oak barrels, 20% of which were new French oak. Deeply perfumed aromas of dark berries and old vine Zinfandel's woody spiciness are alongside layered bright fruit aromas reminiscent of a rich berry pie with a toasted crust. On the palate, vibrant acidity and balanced tannins continue through the long, lingering finish.
