Notwithstanding the freak 2010 vintage, this vineyard planted in 1934 has been on quite a run over the last decade.  In fact, in the history of the Wine Spectator magazine, of the three highest scoring wines labeled as Zinfandel, two have been from Papera Ranch, a testament to just how special this vineyard is.  Picked earlier than ever on September 8th, the fruit was divided into three tanks.  One was fermented with a local, indigenous yeast while the other two were fermented with yeast strains isolated in the Rhône.  On the skins for 18 days, the wine was pressed to all French oak, 23% new and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
