Tasting notes
1907 Zinfandel, Carignan, Grenache and Mission – planted on St George rootstock! Teegan tells me that this is the oldest vineyard he knows of planted on rootstock. Deep purple ruby. Sour-cherry kefir, oak bark and a slight greenness. Firm tannin and lactic, cherry-driven palate. Reserved profile for Turley. (SCJ)

From vines planted in 1907, the 2022 Zinfandel Steacy Ranch is medium ruby in color and takes time to reveal a pure, complex nose of crushed berries, candied stone fruit, autumn leaves, dusty earth and subtle meaty, savory tones. The palate is dense and concentrated yet bound with a youthfully firm, dusty frame and fireworks of mouthwatering acidity on the long, gently coiled finish. While fans of a forward, fleshy style will enjoy this on the young side, this should improve beautifully in the cellar over the coming decade.
