A powerful expression of California's historic Zinfandel heartland, this estate-grown wine showcases the concentrated fruit and distinctive character that only old vines can deliver. Sourced from gnarled, low-yielding vines in Lodi—a region synonymous with world-class Zinfandel—this 2021 vintage captures the essence of sun-drenched California winemaking.

Tasting Notes: Bold aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and raspberry jam are layered with notes of baking spice, vanilla, and a hint of black pepper. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering flavors of ripe plum, boysenberry, and mocha, framed by supple tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dark fruit and sweet oak.
