2008 Old Vine Zinfandel, lodi
14.5% alcohol

VINTAGE
Zinfandel is a variety of red grape planted in over 10 percent of California vineyards. DNA fingerprinting revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the Croatian grape Crljenak Kaštelanski, and also the Primitivo variety traditionally grown in the "heel" of Italy where it was introduced in the 1700's. The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century and became known by variations of the name "Zinfandel," a name of uncertain origin.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Sourced from four blocks of vineyards which average 80+ years of age, this Zinfandel delivers a great nose, wonderful mouth-feel, good legs and a silky-smooth finish... a marketplace favorite!

Fruity and easy to drink, Chardonnays can be paired with just about any dish involving eggs, fish or fowl. This popular white wine generally comes in two styles; showing either a steely, fruitlike and crisp character or barrel-fermented, rounder and buttery flavors.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES
The perfect summer sipping Chardonnay blended from cool Collegeville grapes and barrel fermented fruit, this wine is well balanced with forward green apple and lemon notes, leading to a crisp, clean and refreshing finish.
