The season was a cool one, producing an elegant, streamlined, and highly aromatic vintage. Those qualities emerge more strongly in Saint Georges Zinfandel than any Birichino confrère. A low ABV recalls old vine zinfandels from a bygone era, while plenty of dense fruit still captures the modern California palate.

About Birichino

Alex Krause and John Locke founded Birichino in Santa Cruz in 2008. Drawing on a combined four decades making wine in California, France, Italy, and beyond, they are focused on attaining the perfect balance of perfume, poise, and puckishness. They source their grapes from a number of carefully farmed, family-owned 19th and early 20th century vineyards. Theirs is a preference for marine-influenced climates and own-rooted vines. The vines of this particular vintage were planted by a bootlegger in 1922; a centenarian vineyard in the truest sense.
