In 2003, we picked this vineyard in one pass and co-fermented the sizeable amount of Alicante with the Zin.  However, in 2004, we took a very different approach.  First, we picked the hillside Zin over the course of two days.  A week later, we picked the hillside Alicante.  Finally, another week later, we picked the Zin from the flatter sections of the vineyard.  A lot of ground was covered as these organically farmed vines planted in 1910 yielded only one quarter ton to the acre.  Each component was fermented separately (indigenously, of course, to keep to the spirit of this vineyard) with the final blend being assembled the following summer.   Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
