2015 Old Vine Zinfandel Barrel Reserve

2015 Old Vine Zinfandel Barrel Reserve Kirschenmann Vineyard Lodi, CA Our Story Markus and Liz Bokisch have been producing award-winning Spanish varietals since the early 2000s.With hearts and heritage of Spain, their inspiration to produce Spanish varietal wines in California began by direct- ly importing budwood from select vineyards in Spain, thus creating Bokisch Vineyards, nestled in the Clements Hills of the Lodi AVA. They began making wine from their estate grown and organically farmed fruit in 2000. Our Vineyards This wine was produced from the dry farmed, own rooted, organically grown Kirschenmann Vineyard located near Victor, California, in the heart of the traditional Old Vine Zinfandel country of Lodi. Planed in 1915, Kirschenmann Vineyard is located in Lodi’s Mokelumne River AVA cradled in one of the many bends of the river. The vineyard is owned by Tegan and Olivia Passalacqua. Tegan is a specialist of tending to old vines as winemaker of Turley Cellar and his own label, Sandlands.

Our Wine This elegant barrel aged Zinfandel comes from our Kirschenmann Vineyard which features 101-year-old vines. It has a rustic ruby hue that displays its age beautifully. Enticing aromas of pomegranate juice, anise and cedar jump out of the glass. This aged beauty has smooth flavors of unripen strawberry, cranberry and boysenberry jelly. The finish is long and lingering
