Zinfandels
For me, each vineyard possesses magical characteristics that allows my passion as a winemaker to shine.
Creating single-vineyard Zinfandels to showcase the vineyards, my growers, and my winemaking style. Each vineyard has a unique profile; it allows me to highlight the distinctive qualities provided by different soils, elevations, appellations, and fermentation techniques which all ultimately contribute to their amazing quality.
"I have an affinity for Zinfandels from Amador County ... Your Zins are truly in the same league with these old Zins of the past. Thanks for making them without compromise." - Vaughn J. - CA

It reminds me of what a potential blend of a Cote Rôtie and a Syrah from Chateauneuf du Pape would be if they were blended together.

Planted by Carlo Rossi, now farmed by legendary viticulturist Phil Cotturi. The finish to this wine is one of my favorite aspects of tasting it.
