Winemaker Notes
There’s something magical about head pruned, dry farmed, old vine zinfandel. The wines are bold, beautiful, dense and truly express the terroir.

WineSlash Notes
This exceptional wine is a part of Shannon's exclusive brand portfolio and is crafted as his high-end estate Zinfandel.
The wine is truly super, drinks effortlessly, and is rich and power-packed with juicy berries... a red lovers dream.
This dry-farmed vineyard, which means they don't water the vines, yields intense, pellet-sized berries that are bursting with flavor.
With a remarkable 93WE rating last year and an impressive 92WE rating for the 2019 vintage, the wine is on a path of consistent quality under the expert guidance of owner Clay Shannon.
