We are pleased to announce that our Howell Mountain Vineyards 2018 Old Vine Zinfandel received a 90 point rating and “One Puff” from Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine.

Our 2018 Old Vine Zinfandel comes from the oldest vines in Howell Mountain planted prior to prohibition. On the nose, this wine produces a melody of fruit starting with red cherry notes leading to darker black cherry notes upon further examination. On the palate, layers black pepper spice dominate the entry supported by a rich, fuller than normal, body of black raspberry and dark cherry fruit with hints of cloves and dark plum fruit in the finish supported by well integrated tannins which expose lingering notes of anise and creme de cassis.

This highly-acclaimed wine has also received the following ratings:
