2012 Sonoma Valley Old-Vine Zinfandel: No wines in 2012 benefited more from the combination of quality and quantity then the Sonoma Valley Old-Vine Zinfandel and the North Coast Syrah (to be released with the Winter Release). For instance, the ancient vines at Bedrock, despite the same farming practices as normal yielded almost 3 tons per acre rather than the average 2.3 and that extra fruit needed to go somewhere. As such, the 2012 Sonoma Valley Old-Vine is nearly 40% Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel, with the remainder coming from Casa Santinamaria Vineyard, Monte Rosso Vineyard, Stellwagen Vineyard, Los Chamizal and Scatena. Best yet, I think the 2012 might be the best version yet of the wine- carrying the hallmark spice and perfume of the Sonoma Valley appellation along with deep fruit and good framing acid structure. All native yeast fermented and raised in 12% new French oak. Back up the proverbial truck! Axe that, back up the literal truck! Drinking Window 2014- 2022 $20
