Taking advantage of some strong old timer grower relations, we have been able to source some wonderful old vine Zinfandel from several Napa Valley vineyards. Classic characteristics of fresh cracked pepper, raspberries, black cherries and briery fruit. Full-bodied with plush textures and good acidity as well as a nice mouthfeel.

The Seghesio family first planted Zinfandel back in 1895! Seghesio's Zin is busty, with plush and spicy blackberry and raspberry fruit, but it's got some extra acidity because of the cool 2011 vintage. It is precise in its focus on ripe berries and briary spice, and it is particularly wellbalanced with fine energy and a long, firm finish.

This vintage is consistent with our mission to make rich Zinfandel in a balanced and elegant "claret style" that enhances a wide variety of food without being overbearing. The flavor profile is one of raspberries, bright plum and dark spice.

Orin Swift Cellars owner/winemaker Dave Phinney has gained access to some of the best Zinfandel vineyards in the Northern California growing community. Deciding he wanted to make a high quality Zinfandel, what he created did not fit the constraints of a single AVA. Dark ruby in color with aromas of raspberry and blackberry, toast and sweet vanilla. On the palate there is strawberry, rhubarb, and sassafras. The entry is mouth coating and leads into a mid palate with structure and good acidity. The finish is bright and long with soft tannins and subtle oak sweetness.

Mostly Zinfandel, complimented with 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 3% Charbono, 1% Grenache and 1% Malbec. This dark purple colored blend opens with a mild blackberry, earthy, and smoky oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and savory.

The flavors match the aromas and are dense and concentrated with medium to full bodied richness. The wine is soft and supple textured and the finish is long with finegrained, powdery tannins.

A wine that recalls Cote-Rotie and Chateauneuf du Pape, bright in fruit and brooding in its earthen intensity. The nose offers a concentrated bouquet of wild game, strawberry jam, brambly berries, croissant, crushed violet and sweet cigar wrapper. It is a beautifully layered effort, and on the palate shows olive tapenade, herbs du provence, boysenberry, venison stew and spicy tobacco leaf. A full-bodied wine throughout, it finishes with sweet beet, soft tannin and pink peppercorn spicing.

Highly perfumed bouquet, abundance of black fruits, savory charcuterie, and a suggestion of violets; seamless and beautifully poised, with the acidity providing contrast to the lavish levels of fruit; a well constructed example of the style.

Big, ripe fruit welcomes you as only low yields of Garnacha can express. Less than two tons per acre are harvested from the warm slopes of Moncayo and the results are rich and forthcoming; the palate is awash in the spiced plums on the nose and bring on blackberries, mulling spices, a sweet leathery top note and vivacious acidity.

A blend of 40% Carinena, 40% Syrah, and 20% Garnacha aged for 12 months in French oak. Wood smoke, spice box, incense, lavender, black cherry and plum aromas are followed by a mouth-filling, round, dense wine with outstanding grip and length. It over-delivers in a big way.

Wonderfully aromatic, mixing dark fruit with sweet spice, black pepper, and smoky oak. The fruit for this wine comes from old vines grown in chalky limestone. On the palate, 100% Monastrell delivers pure fruit flavor. The tannins are rounded out smoothly by just enough oaky, spicy richness that still allows the beautiful dark fruit to take center stage.

A blend of 50% Monastrell, 25% Tempranillo and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon harvested by hand. Roasted plum and raspberry aromas offer accents of vanilla, dill and dry wood.
