They are so fortunate to work with this vineyard, one of the most important in California. It was planted to 100% Zinfandel in 1918 in anticipation of Prohibition-- not by a winery but to ship grapes to home winemakers on the East Coast.
They harvested about a ton of grapes in the middle of harvest, foot-stomped them, and fermented them without punchdown or pumpover for 6 days. The wine is nearly black, intense, and sharply focused. It is another example of how Zinfandel can make very dark wines in these regions, but without any jammy heaviness.
It is an amazing time. They have established a new home, in a certain sense their first, on the edge of the Los Angeles River.
They have been nomads for so long—winemakers working within others' walls; Scythians on trackless steppes, with their world on their backs.
Now, they have their own abode—but not in the country, not in the midst of vines. In a corrugated steel cathedral, in the historic grape-growing and winemaking district of a great city. A return, and an amazing new beginning.
A rebirth in the city. And a new collaborator will join them: a fellow Scythian, ready to explore the little-known viticultural landscape of Southern California. Raj Parr—they will persist each in thier own projects and join forces to make new utterly new wines together, under this very special roof.
