About This Wine

Ancient Peaks

Zinfandel

Ancient Peak Zinfandel faithfully represents five separate blocks of vines and the terroir of Margarita Vineyard. Each lot was individually racked in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 25% of which are new oak, and aged for 17 months. The resulting lots were carefully blended to enhance the range of fruit flavors, spicy nuances, and varietal aromatics.

Wine Region

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Plum tasting note. Plum
  • A figure representing the Vanilla tasting note. Vanilla
  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

Deep savory aromas of black cherry and plum underneath vanilla, tobacco, and dusty spice hit the palate. Bright, brambly, dark berry flavors bring juicy texture and hints of cedar. Long peppery finish reminds you that you're drinking a Zin.
