2018 Zinfandel "OGP"

The epitome of old-vine Zin – dust and spice with complex, intense fruit. The Original Grandpère Vineyard, reputedly the world’s oldest, documented producing Zinfandel vineyard, dates back to the 1860s. Pair with lamb, steak, pork loin, wild game, ratatouille, barbecued meats, or blackened salmon -- or enjoy with dark chocolate.

"Noceto’s Zinfandel bottlings from the Original Grandpère Vineyard – a site planted over one hundred and fifty years ago and reputedly the oldest, still-producing Zin vineyard in the state – defy expectations for old-vine Amador County versions in that they are outside of the big and burly norm... a wine that does not rush headlong to ripeness but is, instead, a fairly mannerly and well-balanced look at the grape that will drink nicely with not-too-heavy entrees ranging from grilled sausages and lightly smoked pork chops to all sorts of pastas bathed in complex, tomato-based sauces" - Connoisseur's Guide
