We picked the Zinfandel component from vines planted in 1895 on September 19th.  Six days later we came back for the Alicante Bouschet component from the eastern half of the ranch planted in 1920.  After malolactic fermentation the following spring, we did blending trials and determined the best wine was a blend of 91% Zinfandel. 6% Alicante Bouschet, and a dash of Petite Sirah from neighboring Rossi Ranch for mid-palate structure.  As usual, bottled unfined and unfiltered.
