From one of the few old vine sites remaining on the east side of the Laguna del Santa Rosa (Jackass Hill and Radio Coteau’s “Lemoral” being the main other two), this wine oozes its cool climate and sandy soiled provenance. From vines planted in 1910 on northern slopes, this is a complex field blend based around Zinfandel but peppered with Barbera, Alicante Bouschet, Golden Chasselas (Palomino), Grand Noir, Syrah, Charbono, Cab Pfeffer (Mourtou), Black Muscat, and others. Possessing explosive spicy blue fruits and abundant weight, this vineyard always manages to counterpose its fruit weight with the natural buoyancy of its moderate clime. Dry-farmed and low-yielding, this is one of our most beloved and unfortunately smallest-production wines—the few barrels of this made each year have a treasured place in our personal cellars.
