Old-Vine Zinfandel

"A dry-farmed site planted 100 years ago and head-trained still, Dina’s is a study in baked cherry, blackberry and plum, rich and viscously thick. Velvety tannins and ample weight provide an unctuous lushness that is complemented by underlying acidity". - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, June/July 2021

"Dense black fruit contrasts against a tartness of cranberry, the acidity sharp and beautifully complementary to the dry-farmed, head-trained structure of the wine. Powerful grip speaks to its youthful vigor, unwinding slowly in the glass. " - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 2021

"Succulent, with structure and tension in its bones, this hearty, full-bodied wine expresses thick waves of juicy blackberry, dark cherry, and cola, the oak well-integrated within a spicy component of nutmeg and white pepper. Planted more than a century ago, the head-trained vines yield low amounts of delicious, concentrated grapes."   - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 2021

"Seductively smooth and weathered in crisp cranberry, plum, and dark cherry, this old-vine wine offers a substantial grip of tannin and notes of crushed rock and oak. Velvety texture leads to dusty black pepper, nutmeg, and tobacco." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, June/July 2021

"The 2019 Zinfandel Russian River Valley is a gem and certainly a great candidate for those looking for a great Zinfandel, or those interested in the style and quality of this great estate. Classic red and blue fruits, sandalwood, cigar wrapper, and candied violets dominate the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with considerable structure, good purity, and a great finish. It will have 8-10 years of prime drinking. "  - Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, July 2021
