VINEYARD

 

Planted in 1990, the vineyard is tended in the traditional manner of our heritage Zinfandel vines—head-pruned and dry-farmed. This traditional practice keeps yields low and intensifies fruit characteristics. Our Quartz vineyard is located atop a gentle slope facing south. The vineyard gets its name from the former gold mine underneath and the abundance of white quartz contained in the coarse, sandy loam soil.

TASTE

Aromas of dark cherries, blueberries, toasted oak, and hints of clove greet the nose. Blackberries and black pepper explode on the palate along with a healthy dose of tannins, creating a dense fruity wine that sits nicely on the tongue. A smooth finish follows with fragments of toasted oak and lingering fruit flavors. Serve with grilled peppered steaks, stew, or other braised meats.

This wine is the epitome of what a spicy zin is. Starts a bit fruity up front, but with time develops into the quintessential , old vine taste. Rivals sins much older
