Theresa Heredia makes this wine from fruit grown in the red volcanic soils of Bradford Mountain, the vines planted in 1974 at an elevation of 1,000 feet. Those old vines give fruit with concentrated flavors, which Heredia captured at the peak of ripeness, creating a wine with a transparent color that seems to inform its clarity of flavor as well. It’s bright and forest-fresh, layering tart woodland blueberry and wild cherry flavors with ethereal tannins, giving the wine both intensity and grace.

This wine offers a complex nose of black pepper, licorice and earthy forest. Blackberry and fig form the core of the palate, with lifted acidity and structured tannins providing the frame. (VB)

The 2016 Zinfandel Grist Vineyard is pale to medium ruby with a nose of roasted cranberries, apricot, scorched earth and tar with touches of dried herbs and spices. The palate is soft and spicy with an uncomplicated finish. (EB)

Floral raspberry aromas open to tightly focused black cherry and grilled anise flavors, finishing with taut tannins. (TF)
