2024 Monte Rosso Vineyard
Zinfandel

Located along the western and Sonoma side of the Mayacamas Mountains is the historic Monte Rosso vineyard. Called “red mountain” for its iron-rich volcanic soils, our block of Monte Rosso’s sloping hills was planted in 1893. Ranging in elevation from 700 to 1300 feet, these vines sit primarily above the fog line, with the city of San Francisco and the San Pablo Bay visible on a clear day. The 2024 is juicy and mouthwatering, yet its fruit retains a firm, satisfying bite—more like eating perfectly ripened fruit directly from the tree than opening a jar of preserves. Satsuma plum, crisp red apple, and bright citrus mingle with cracked pepper, violets, and pencil graphite. Fresh, toothsome, and full of energy, Monte Rosso finishes with a vivid mineral crunch that captures the vineyard's dramatic red volcanic soils.
