Winemaker Notes
In 2021 yields were so low it was nearly impossible to find any Zinfandel for purchase, let alone any of high quality. So, when I heard that the Maffei family might have a few tons available, we jumped at the opportunity. Walking the gnarly head-trained vineyard planted a hundred years ago and tasting the delicious fruit from the site, we couldn't believe our good fortune. During fermentation and barrel aging, it became clear that this vineyard had something special to offer and deserved to be highlighted as a vineyard designate. since then Maffei has become one of my favorite sites.
