Hailing from 1937, these certified organic vines are some of the most unique we’ve ever seen. Just a mile and a half from the Napa border on the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas, located in what is the new Moon Mountain AVA, the vines are planted along steep, contoured terraces. Finding old vineyards is rare enough, but ancient hillside head-trained vines located 900 feet up? Downright extraordinary. 

Briary and zesty, with wild berry and dried cherry flavors accented by grilled anise and savory black pepper. Concludes with medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. 680 cases made.

The 2020 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard is a dense, savory wine with a ton of mountain structure. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, mint, tobacco, cedar and licorice open gradually. In 2020 the Fredericks is a bit compact, with good energy and plenty of the tension that is a signature of the year. The fruit came in the day the fires broke out, about three weeks earlier than normal. Ultimately, only one pick made it into the bottled wine.
