2023 Reserve Old Vine Zinfandel
Buy Now: $45.00

Our 2023 Old Vine Zinfandel Reserve is a limited-release wine that was both lot-selected and barrel-selected. This esteemed fruit was harvested on the same day from two separate blocks of our Old Vine Zinfandel vines planted in 1908. It was open-top fermented and aged in 100% French oak barrels with 30% of the wine in new oak. Wine ages differently depending on the barrel, so the aromas and flavors develop with distinct characteristics.

The wine aged for 12 months, then Winemakers Blaine Brazil and Jim Rickards tasted through 40 barrels and determined those that were exceptional in quality. This barrel-selected Zinfandel was aged another 8 months in neutral French oak. The goal of this wine is to elevate and improve on the classic style of Zinfandel that this part of Sonoma County is known for.

This wine exhibits deep structure and a complexity of flavors and aromas that surpass the common descriptors and stereotypes often associated with California's heritage grape. Rich and spicy, with gorgeous blackberry notes and a huge juicy finish. A great special-occasion wine!

2023 Malbec, Zanzi Curve Vines

2023 Malbec, Zanzi Curve Vines
Buy Now: $42.00

Now known more commonly as an Argentine wine, Malbec is originally one of the five "sisters" of the Bordeaux region of France. Somewhat a stepsister, it is typically blended with Cabernet Sauvignon to both soften the tannins and enhance the bouquet of the finished wine. Bottled alone, Malbec boasts an exuberant bouquet. This full-bodied wine, complemented by silky tannins, was aged in 100% French oak.

Our Malbec offers a distinctively New World take on the varietal that gives a respectful nod to its European roots. Alluring aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, rose petal, orange peel, and mocha lure the taster into a silky mouthfeel of consistent flavors, through to the long delicious finish. This elegant wine is the perfect accompaniment to pork tenderloin, beef bourguignon, or mildly spiced pasta dishes. And, given its rustic tone, consider giving Malbec a go with slow-cooked, braised meats.

2023 Five Sisters Cabernet Sauvignon
Buy Now: $49.00

Grapes for our Estate Five Sisters Blend Cabernet Sauvignon were cool fermented in temperature-controlled, open-topped fermentation tanks and gently punched down by hand. This time-consuming, low-impact processing optimizes fruit extraction and limits harsh tannins. The wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. All of the components of this wine were fermented and barrel-aged separately for 20 months in French oak barrels, then combined to create our Five Sisters Blend.
