Our "Grand Cru" Zinfandel! It's amazing how despite the vagaries of each vintage, this 1927 vineyard continues to produce great wine year in and year out. Picked in late October, yields were a scant .7 ton to the acre. Cold-soaked for 5 days before an indigenous fermentation, the wine was pressed after 23 days on the skins to all French oak, 30% new. Malolactic fermentation did not complete until the following September. Certainly one of the longest malolactic fermentations we've ever experienced but it allowed us to minimize the use of sulfite. Bottled unfiltered.
