This Zinfandel showcases aromas of blackberry and tart cherry on the nose, followed by flavors of brambly huckleberry and pomegranate on the mid-palate, with a mocha and fresh thyme finish. This wine is robust, yet refined and playful, exhibiting a beautiful freshness and vibrant flavors.
Our Winemakers, David and Katharine DeSante, accented this Zinfandel with fruit from our newly acquired “Old Stake 1901 Vineyard” in the Kelsey Bench. This rare 120-year-old vineyard added depth and character to the wine with it’s unique “Old World” varieties including: 6% Petite Sirah, 5% Alicante Bouschet, 5% Cinsault, 3% Touriga Naçional, 3% Syrah, 2% Barbera and 1% Rousanne. The winemaking focused on integrating the bright red fruits of the Lake County Zinfandel with the clove, mocha and dark fruit notes of the “Field Blend” varieties. Finally, to finish the wine, we bottled unfiltered and unfined to retain the alluring freshness of this aromatically compelling and distinctively flavorful offering.
