2023 Venge ‘Signal Fire’ Zinfandel Calistoga

Our Calistoga Estate vineyard continues to improve as we have fully transitioned to organic farming. These dry-farmed, gnarly head-trained vines are a rare breed here in Napa Valley and we feel blessed to possess 8 acres of the good stuff! 97% old-vine estate Zinfandel is interplanted in old-world style with 3% old-vine Petite Sirah. This coupling brings a base into the wine while honoring classic Zinfandel nuances. Balanced, yet bold and brooding with sheet coating color and viscosity, this is old-vine Zinfandel at its best. Wonderful, fresh honeysuckle and white pepper spice fill the glass and lure you into mouthwatering anticipation. Blackberry jam, sweet cola, blue herbs and allspice fill the mouth with pure pleasure. Full- bodied and viscous with a lengthy and refreshing finish. 515 cases produced.
