06 Zinfandel
Not just Old Vines, but Ancient Vines! This vineyard was planted in 1896 but was overgrown and neglected
until Guy found it in 1996. He revived this 2.5 acre parcel and two years later it
produced enough grapes to make about 200 cases where production levels remain about the same.

Tasting Notes
Perfect character with bright, juicy red raspberry flavor mixed with a smoky plum and that great old vine spice...ripe but never over-ripe. Full-bodied and lush but not heavy and sappy . Simply delicious!
