Planted originally in the 1880's then added to in the 1920's by Felice Pagani, most of the original vines still produce beautiful fruit. Much of it is field-blended: Zinfandel, Alicante, Lenoir, Petite Sirah, Grand Noir and numerous others-like a big old vine salad of many heritage varieties, if you will. Beautiful dark color with aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, dark chocolate, fig, caramel, prosciutto, and toasted vanilla oak. Black, red and blue fruits on the palate. An integrated package of fat tannins and pleasing taut acidity. This is a big structured Zinfandel to watch develop over months and years to come. Only 300 cases produced.
