“A unique field blend of Zinfandel and fourteen other grape varieties from a heritage Russian River Valley vineyard, originally planted in 1890 and partially replanted in 1950 by Americo Rafanelli.”- David Ramey
palate
Traditional Zinfandel palate weight, not too heavy, with the added complexity of the other varietals.

winemaking
Native yeast, 20-day fermentation and maceration. Pressed and barrelled down before native malolactic fermentation. Aged on the lees in neutral oak barrels for 12 months; bottled unfiltered.
