One of Venge’s rarest and most special wines. Kirk Venge explains:
This vineyard sits in the center crown of Northern Calistoga and is a testament to the historical significance of Heritage Zinfandel vines that were once planted prolifically throughout California. Planted in the early 1900’s, the old vines on this property are dry farmed and head trained in the old-school style, producing just under one-ton to the acre.
This 2021 has the highest rating ever on CellarTracker, with this review:
One of the best zins we've had in years! Excellent flavor profile, great structure and mouthfeel with a lingering finish. Fantastic!
This precious plot of ancient vines is both dry farmed and organically farmed. Always one of Venge’s most impressive reds, as well as one of the hardest to find.
(If you like Venge’s Scout’s Honor, this is like a super-cuvee essence of that wine. Simply incredible.)
