1885 BLOCK – SONS & DAUGHTERS RANCH, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

Nestled in the historic 1885 Block of Sons & Daughters Ranch, this vineyard is home to some of the oldest Zinfandel vines in the Russian River Valley, planted over 130 years ago. The rocky loam soils and cool climate of the Chalk Hill sub-region contribute to the vineyard’s low yields and high-intensity fruit, creating wines with deep complexity and a unique expression of the terroir that connects the past to the present.

Why we love this Wine

The 2019 Zinfandel from the historic 1885 Block at Sons and Daughters Ranch is a robust and expressive wine, capturing the essence of Zinfandel vines over a century old. This wine is marked by rich layers of dark fruit, earthy undertones, and spice, embodying the depth and complexity of its unique terroir. Aged in French oak for 16 months, this Zinfandel offers a full-bodied experience with nuanced oak influence, enhancing its natural structure and richness.
