2004 Zarzuela
Zarzuela is the Spanish word for "operetta," a romantic musical. Just as many voices and instruments come together to form the musical Zarzuela, this wine blends Spanish and Portug ... moreuese grape varieties to achieve a harmonious result: Touriga Nacional, Tempranillo, Souzao and Touriga Francesca, are aged 12 months as separate components, then blended and returned to barrel for further aging.

2002 Zinfandel
A single-vineyard Zinfandel sourced from the historic Raboli vineyard. The wine is aged for more than 20 months in a combination of new and used French and American Oak barrels. Pr ... moreedominantly Zinfandel, the wine is blended with a touch of Barbera to enhance depth and complexity.
With the warm days cooled by the San Francisco Bay breezes during growing, the climate for this Zinfandel is optimal. The Zinfandel shows the classic characteristics of old vines: a rich concentration of ripe fruit flavors and combination of black pepper and anise.
