In Roger’s newsletter this week said “In the heart of Saint Helena, the historic Hayne Vineyard is home to 112 year old heritage Zinfandel vines, and the source of some of the most highly rated Zinfandel in California. Like living works of art, each of these old vines is a unique spirit unto itself.
These old vines have incredible, almost mysterious qualities like their ability to preserve beautiful, mouthwatering acidity even with extended hang times. Chase Cellars has achieved ripe, concentrated berries that produce powerful and complex wines without ever compromising balance, or that luminous purity of fruit. This is the Holy Grail in winemaking and just one of the secrets of their old vines.
These wines just hit Georgia! Before you could only purchase in California and at the winery. They are expensive, but some of the best Zinfandel wine I have ever tasted!”
