A new opportunity for deliciousness for second generation winemaker Tom Greenough, one made possible with a new block planting of the original 1880 clone that made the label famous among Zin lovers. It’s light, fresh vibe is a fun alternative to the old vine classic, with bold cherry and cedar spice aromas enticing, leading to a palate of candied fruit and spice that lingers pleasantly. In a way, it’s a look back in time to when the original vineyard was in its youth. That’s even more fun!
