Alexander School Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Old Vine Zinfandel is all about complexity and nuance, each sip shares the story of the vine. Winemaker Kevin Hall selected Alexander Valley Zinfandel from a single 55-year-old vineyard near the winery for this small production wine. The giant, gnarly old vines are head trained and spur pruned, yielding small clusters with fewer grapes per vine. One look at these vines and you know this wine is a true representation of “old vine” Zinfandel.
