This is the side project of vineyard manager Chuy Ordaz and his family, from a vineyard he has long farmed. It's impressively elegant while offering a pack of combustible power. Rustic and earthy on the nose, it follows with truffle, red and blue fruit, leather and coffee, the tannins are big and spicy. (VB)

Notes

Powerful yet fresh. Pure yet wild. This fascinating mountain fruit Zin is simply captivating. Taken entirely from the older blocks of Zinfandel at Montecillo Vineyard, there is an effortless concentration to the wine that seems to come from the quality of the fruit rather than extreme ripeness or extraction. More structured than your typical Russian River, Dry Creek or Lodi Zin. This wine really shows distinctive character from its 1800-foot elevation, mountainside location. Lovingly farmed by veteran grape grower Chuy Ordaz and crafted by his son Eppie. Ordaz is truly a boutique, family operation...it just so happens that this family tends some of the most impressive mature vineyards in California!
