Our Old Vine Zinfandel hails from the Talmage Bench region of Mendocino County. Previously farmed by four generations of the Giannecchini family, this vineyard was planted sometime between 1910 and 1920. The gravelly, loam soils and ideal climate contribute to the production of these ultra-premium wine grapes.

There's something magical about head pruned, dry farmed, old vine zinfandel. The wines are bold, beautiful, dense and truly express the terroir.

This is a full bodied Zinfandel that shows the power of Mendocino's Talmage bench. It's deep color lends aromas of dark fruit and tobacco to the nose. The balance between tannins and acid allow this wine to pair beautifully with a variety of meats, or even just a plate of cheese. Enjoy now, or cellar for years to come.
