For Michael, this Old Vine Zinfandel block is truly a labor of love. Fantastic quality and very low yield means the vineyard is only capable of 100 cases or less, but the passion to bring you wine from these historic 97-year old vines is the reason you are reading this now. They make a spectacular, big fruit forward wines that are enjoyable by all!
Tasting notes from Proprietor Michael Chiarello:
"...[possessing] a bit more muscular and exotic characteristics than its sibling, "Giana", the "Felicia" is blessed with a wonderful floral nose of lilacs and roses followed by honeysuckle and black currant. Red and black fruits dominate the palate with classic Zinfandel spiciness adding zip and prolonging the finish."
Total Production: 40 cases
Aging Potential: 3-7 years
