Representing the western and Sonoma side of the Mayacamas Mountains is the historic Monte Rosso vineyard. Called “red mountain” for its iron-rich volcanic soils, Monte Rosso’s sloping hills were originally planted in 1880 and partially replanted in 1938. Ranging in elevation from 700 to 1300 feet, these vines sit primarily above the fog line, with the city of San Francisco and the San Pablo Bay visible on a clear day. This well-known vineyard is shared by many colleagues in the Zinfandel and larger wine world, and is widely considered one of the most notable sites both for the age of the vines as well as the superiority of the wines they produce.

Sourced from a block of vines planted in 1893, the 2022 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard opens to a bright, exotic and complex nose of red cherries, currant, blood orange, pipe tobacco and teriyaki glaze accented with hints of floral perfume and loamy earth. The nose is quite reactive out of the gate and continuously gains complexity and dimension. The palate is full-bodied, svelte and generous but seamlessly transitions into a long, chalky, fine and vibrant finish with great clarity and delineation of ripe fruit flavors and iron-laced structure. Despite its luscious nature, this is still quite coiled and youthful and will no doubt gain further expressiveness after 3-5 years in bottle.
