Winemaker Notes
Dragon Vineyard is a certified organic, estate vineyard. Planted at 2400 feet at one of the highest points on Howell Mountain, the vineyard sits well above the fog line and faces east. These important features, along with the rocky, red volcanic soil, make for a very unique, full-bodied and powerful Zinfandel that is always Larry’s favorite since it goes with what he likes to cook: bold, flavorful, spice-driven meats on an open fire. As with all our mountain wines, we recommend a quick decant if you want to enjoy it in the near future!

Wine Spectator
Floral raspberry and loamy cracked pepper aromas open to luxuriously supple and layered cherry pie, smoky anise and sage flavors. Tannins ease in and frame the finish. Drink now through 2024.
