Meet our Zins!

The "Monga Zin", gleaned from vines planted in 1918 in the Jose Lopez Vineyard in Cucamonga Valley, is full of juicy red fruit and Asian spices, with a touch of brown sugar and caramel-chocolate oak.

From Cox Vineyard north of Ukiah, the "Wild Thing" is a "hands-off" wine, made from older organic vines using no added yeast inoculation, to craft a wine of rich body and powerful fruit.

"Karma Zin" hails from 100-yr-old vines on Wood Road in Russian River Valley--it is a complexly layered "field blend" of Zinfandel with Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, and Carignane, bursting with inky berry jam flavors.

The "Rocky Reserve" from the Rockpile Ridge Vineyard in Rockpile/Dry Creek Valley, though drawn from vines young in age, shows inky color, the most black pepper varietal fruit and classically elegant structure for aging.
