Collins Vineyard, located two miles north of the town of Windsor, was planted in 1934 and produces rich, intense, complex wine. It was originally part of Limerick Lane Cellars, surrounding the home of winemaker Michael Collins. We are very fortunate to work with this old-vine, heritage Zinfandel.
Michael Scorsone has been a long-time friend and an honorary member of our family. Through our relationship with Michael we are able to source superb Dry Creek Valley fruit from the Emmitt-Scorsone Estate, located two miles west of the town of Healdsburg. The grapes produce a lovely, soft, medium-bodied wine full of red fruit and spice.
John Balletto has been a family friend for a number of years and we are fortunate to work with fruit from his family's vineyards. This wine is produced from the Burnside Road Vineyard, located at just under 1,000 feet of elevation and about 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean. This unique micro-climate provides one of the rare places where Pinot Noir can ripen slowly to produce wines of depth and distinction.
