I have to laugh every time I look at what went into our “entry level” Sonoma County Zinfandel.  Most wineries would call this a “Reserve” and charge double or triple!  But after blending vineyard designates and AVA wines, we found we had a couple of barrels of some great wines leftover.  Furthermore, our favorite Pagani blend happened to be the most copious, more than I was comfortable bottling.  Hence, we peeled off 5.5 barrels of the Pagani to use as a base and blended in the other three components, all from vineyards planted between 1885 and 1927.  The result is a killer old-vine Zin at a bargain of a price.  Nine percent new French oak.  Unfined and unfiltered.
