    September 12, 2016 - Quintessential Dry Creek zin with its blend of fruit and spice.

    January 30, 2015 - ZAP Flights! 2015 presented with support from The Historic Vineyard Society (Four Seasons Hotel, San Francisco): Poured at the Zap Flights presentation by the Historic Vineyard Society including discussion with winemaker Hugh Chappelle.

    A medium-dark ruby color and a shy nose, with some coaxing getting blackberry and orange blossom. Very spicy palate, loads of black pepper backed by plums and blackberries, dusty tannins, and a very long finish.

    This was another excellent wine from the Dry Creek flight that I don't care to rank against its peers. According to Hugh, Katz Vineyard was planted around 1900 near Lytton East, 80-85% Zin with other mixed blacks and some white varieties interplanted. It's farmed organically but not certified. In the best years it hangs 2 tons/acre, and is fermented using ambient yeasts. Raised in all French Oak, 20% new.
