Producer Description

Dragon Vineyard is an estate-farmed, certified organic vineyard. Planted at 2250 feet at one of the highest points on Howell Mountain, the vineyard sits well above the fog line and faces east, first to receive the soft morning sun. These important features, along with the rocky, red volcanic soil, make for a unique, full-bodied, powerful Zinfandel. This is often Larry’s favorite since it goes with what he most likes to cook: bold, flavorful, spice-laden meats laid over an open fire. There’s a reason Howell Mountain was the first designated sub-AVA in Napa Valley: the wines from this hallowed ridge are the most distinctive in the entire region.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The 2021 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is powerfully styled, with a deep ruby-purple color and aromas of cassis, graphite and cocoa. The full-bodied palate features concentrated yet nuanced flavors, a harmonious, grainy structure and long, mineral-driven finish. Offer it another 3-5 years in bottle and drink it over the next 10-15.
