"The 2020 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard is a standout. Readers who want to understand why Monte Rosso is such a special site will find that here. Soaring aromatics, strikingly pure fruit and refined tannins are all signatures of a special place and a special wine. Red-fleshed fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and lifted floral overtones grace this racy, flamboyant Zinfandel-based wine. Dollops of Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir and Tempranillo round out the field blend."  

Winemaker Notes: 

"In 2020, we were thrilled to be offered an additional small amount of fruit from an equally old (1880s-planted) block of fruit at this venerable ranch. In contrast to Block 32, which faces west, Block 25 is at higher elevation and faces north—something very rare at Monte Rosso. The blend of the two is a wine that has even more perfume and racy mountain fruit than previous iterations, showing all the pepper, blood orange, and raspberry typical of the site. Composed primarily of Zinfandel, there is a small amount of interplanted Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, and a single, beautiful Tempranillo vine. As always, a favorite of the vintage from one of the grand dames of Zinfandel sites in the world."
