Old Vine Zinfandel

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Hartford Zinfandel soars with notes of rose oil, star anise, kirsch, and raspberry pie leading to a core of stewed red plums and incense. The medium to full-bodied palate has a refreshing backbone and lightly chewy texture, finishing with lovely purity and a red berry lift. Don and Jennifer Hartford tend this head-trained vineyard in the backyard of their home. Planted over 100 years ago, the Hartford Vineyard’s vines are the lowest yielding of all of their Old Vine Zinfandel vineyards."   - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Jolene's Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel bursts with bold notes of Morello cherries, rosebud tea, hoisin, and unsmoked cigars giving way to hints of rose oil and sandalwood. The full-bodied palate has great tension and wonderfully velvety tannins, with a compelling mintiness lifting the concentrated black fruits, finishing long and spicy. It comes from head-trained vines planted over 100 years ago." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

"The 2022 Winberrie Knolls Old Vine Zinfandel is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It bounds out of the glass with exuberant notes of juicy plums, boysenberry preserves, and fruitcake plus hints of Indian spices, dried mint, tobacco leaf, and potpourri. the full-bodied palate is jam packed with black fruits and exotic spices with a racy line and lightly chewy tannins, finishing very long and earthy. The vines are more than 100 years old."   - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

"A similar magenta/ruby hue, the 2023 Zinfandel Dina's Vineyard is ripe with floral and herbal sapidity, revealing notes of pressed flowers, mocha, crushed sage, and blueberries.The palate is compact and mouthwatering, with zesty, snappy acidity that gives it a brighter feel, and it’s full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a long, savory finish with hints of orange oil.

"A deeper ruby/magenta color, there’s more Petite Sirah in the field blend for the 2023 Zinfandel Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard, which has darker, more intense notes of cigar box, blackberries, cherry preserve, dark spices, lavender, and mossy forest earth. The palate is full-bodied, with ripe tannins, even acidity, and a broader feel on the finish. It has a deeper tannin structure and a bit more richness of earth and grip on the finish, with a slightly more rustic feel to its structure, but it’s well-balanced and can handle richer marbled steak and braised meat " - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025
