Miljenko’s Old Vines Zinfandel

Miljenko’s Old Vines Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $69.00 per bottle

Description: Miljenko “Mike” Grgich’s home overlooks our 34-acre vineyard in Calistoga. The warmest of all five of our vineyards, the reddish soils here are gravelly loam that provide excellent drainage and are perfect for sun-loving Zinfandel. The few rows of the vineyard that produce this wine were planted more than 100 years ago. We dry farm and organically farm the vines to produce concentrated, complex flavors in the grapes. Concentrated aromas of rose petals, anise, blackberry and black peppercorns jump out of the glass. Its spicy fruit and fine balance of acid and tannins make it perfect for flavorful dishes such as lamb chops, sausages, duck confit and aged cheeses. Extremely limited: only 454 cases produced, so buy now before we’re sold out.
