Budbreak came early at this Sonoma Valley vineyard. The oldest block set a light crop that ripened quickly. We picked it on August 30, returning a week later for the remaining two blocks. Each parcel was crushed to a separate fermentor, and pumped over twice-daily, extracting deep color and ample tannin. This exemplary old-vine zinfandel will be enjoyable over the next seven years.
