2024 Zampatti Vineyard
Zinfandel

Located in Sonoma County, this vineyard is nearly hidden in downtown Santa Rosa, in the newly-created Fountaingrove AVA. Planted in 1915 on 2.5 acres, the vineyard is farmed organically by Alida Morzenti, granddaughter of the Zampattis. The Zinfandel vines are interspersed with little-known white grapes Palomino & Golden Chasselas and planted on a cool sloping site with large rocks scattered throughout the warm Franciscan soils. The 2024 captures the season at its fullest: sun-warmed, abundant, and just wild enough around the edges. Ripe blackberry and black Santa Rosa plum arrive with the immediacy of warm summer fruit, their juices seemingly running down your hands. Dusty bramble and a fleeting touch of white pepper keep the wine grounded. The palate is broad, juicy, and deeply satisfying, yet beautifully balanced by fresh acidity.
