Zinfandel-Filice Connolly Vineyards

Zinfandel-Filice Connolly Vineyards Wine Details
Price: $34.00 per bottle

Description: Our newest single vineyard designate Zinfandel, the Filice Connolly vineyard is located in the small town of St Helena in the northern Napa Valley. This 60 year old vineyard is only about two acres, head-pruned and dry-farmed just like our estate vineyard. This small vineyard is held to only produce about two tons per acre, only about 200 cases produced, but the fruit quality is exceptional and the wine that it produced is truly exciting. 100% Zinfandel, aged solely in American oak, very big, very ripe, but having balancing fruitiness and great depth on the palate with loads of black pepper spice, smooth tannins, and a long lingering finish. The owners of this vineyard have given us decision making control over the farming of this small gem of a vineyard, that will give us the ability to create great wines in the future.
