Expressing the unique character of a cool climate vineyard on Goldridge soil, Robert Von Weidlich´s old vines — dry farmed, head pruned and low yielding — reside on a sun-drenched ridge top above the town of Occidental. Originally planted in 1937, they once again yielded a miniscule crop of concentrated fruit in this their seventieth year.
Piercing berry, briar, potpourri, mocha and white pepper aromas jump from the bright bouquet. A balanced and weighty midpalate previews the same balance and textural ripeness on the lengthy finish. Old–vine Zinfandel character dominates here, but with uncommon elegance. Will drink through at least 2014. 272 cases produced. $42 per bottle.RELEASE DATE: Fall 2009 FINAL BOTTLING **SOLD OUT** |
