GOLD - 2022 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
 

Every single drop of this precious wine is so delicious and concentrated, smooth and pleasing to the pallet!  Each person that tastes this wine comments on how much they love this varietal.  It's an old vine field planting that yields only 1 ton of grapes per acre - and really shines with quality. Ripe and full-bodied, yet creamy smooth.   Only 500 cases made of this lovely wine.

Bronze - 2022 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

Our little Ponytails yield mighty flavors of concentrated blackberry, ripe fig, high-toned cherry, white pepper, and violets, all on a dreamy bed of vanilla crème and mocha pillows.  It is grown North of the town of Healdsburg just a heartbeat from the Healdsburg Airport.  The vines are small and struggle to grow in soil rich in gravel and hilly conditions.  We let this vintage hang well into the first week of harvest - but a blast of hot air - from a heatwave -brought us to our knees and we picked these. This wine is rich in white pepper, violets, bright blackberry, and dark chocolate on the finish.  Only 75 cases made and it may come down to first-come-first-serve for this beautiful wine. With 16.5% alcohol - this wine is certainly not shy but well balanced and lovely! Took GOLD at the 2020 SAN FRANCISCO WINE COMPETITION.  More will certainly follow.  Thank you to our growers Laurie and Robert Pouseman at the Pony Ranch in Healdsburg!  Sante!  Nancy

Step One:  Bleed off the low alcohol, low color juice at the press.  Step Two:  Take remaining grapes and skins and ferment to dryness,  Step Three:  Barrel down for 9 months after fermentation.  Step four:   Drink with a friend!  We used these grapes to make our rose and then the balance of the skins were fermented .  The resulting zinfandel wine is super concentrated, and deliciously rich.Spicey berry pie flavors and dark chocolate on smooth, velvety tannis.  - Nancy
