The 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel was produced from 75 year old head-trained and 40 year old trellised dry farmed vineyards, both in gravelly benchland in the Dry Creek Valley. The grapes for this wine were crushed and fermented warm, pumping juice from the tank bottom over the cap of floating skins on a regular basis. The wine was pressed off the skins slightly sweet and racked to 60 gallon French and American oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrel and the wine was then barrel aged a total of 18 months.
