This wine is an ATP selection. Find out more about joining the ATP. 2006 Old Schoolbottled April 200883% ZINFANDEL, 15% CARIGNANE, 2% PETITE SIRAHAbundant winter rain and a cold spring were followed by intense summer heat. Harvest began mid-September; the hand-picked fruit was crushed to small tanks for natural primary fermentation. We pressed on day eight, including all the press wine for its complexity. Natural malolactic finished within three weeks, and the wines were ready for blind tasting. Two of the four chosen parcels contain nineteenth-century vines, two were planted in the 1960s; all share gravelly loam and river-rock sub-soil. Barrel-aged for seventeen months, the wine was racked every quarter for clarity. Bramble fruits and exotic spice impart opulence, depth and classic old-vine character. The 2006 is delicious now; its firm structural tannins assure a decade of further development. EB (3/08)
