2010 Old Vine Zinfandel “The Origins” (Teldeschi Vineyard)

label-10-zin-origins-v0.02-1000w

Planted in late 1880′s, these old (if not ancient) vines produced bold zinfandel with a graceful finish and mouthfeel. Typically we blend a little bit of Petit Sirah for color and spice. This year it didn’t need it… at all.
Limited quantity: Only 25 cases produced.
