About this product
Ancient vine Zinfandel from the Dogtown Vineyard's pre-Prohibition plantings on sandy loam. Intensely brambly — blackberry, boysenberry, black pepper, chocolate, and the distinctive 'wild' character of very old vine Zinfandel. Despite high alcohol, remarkable freshness from Delta breezes.
