2006 Zinaz |
| When we stopped making Zinaz after the 2001 vintage I never imagined that it would cause such an upset. So needless to say back by popular demand the 2005 Zinaz was a superb blend of Very Old Vine Zinfandel and Syrah. The fruit forward Zinfandel with its jammy tones blend perfectly with the smoky Syrah. I have to admit I am glad that everyone stepped up for Zinaz because I almost forgot just how great these two grapes go together. The 2006 vintage is quickly becoming a collectors choice here at the winery. Don't miss out on this one. More Details |

2004 Very Old Vine Zinfandel |
| Located in the small town of Del Rey, CA is a very small vineyard only 1.5 acres of pre prohibition Zinfandel grapes. The grapes from these very old vines have tons of flavor and unrivaled character. We aged this wine for 30 months in mostly American Oak to help promote the fruitiness of the this wine, with just a few French Oak barrels to add some soft edges. The result is a medium bodied Zinfandel with huge aromas of Raspberries, a great Zinfandel for any occasion. More Details |

2005 Gravel Pit Syrah |
| The Gravel Pit Vineyard is located on the banks of the San Joaquin River. The soil in this abandoned gravel pit lends itself to the terroir of this unique growing location. The stress of these growing conditions results in a grape with concentrated Syrah characters. Aged for 30 months in American Oak barels, leaving a hint of vanila and a solid structure to the back ground of smoke and berries. A must have for any Syrah drinker. More Details |
