Delicious Napa Valley Zinfadel from Sky Vineyards

Established in 1979, Sky Vineyards is a small family winery at the very top of Mt. Veeder at 2100 feet in elevation. This organic, dry-farmed vineyard contains reddish volcanic soil on sunny east-facing slopes, moderated by fog-cooled nights. Sky produces a unique, mountain grown Zinfandel that has an uncanny ability to age. Run by the colorful Lore Olds, this small shed of a winery runs on a single solar panel powering a single light bulb. The grapes are crushed by foot, pressed in an old wooden basket press and bottled by hand. It’s amazing and unique style of California wine. The 2007 is a more forward and juicy wine than the past releases. This is due to the fact that Sky’s young vines, that were planted in 2000, are finally making up most of the blend. The wine still showcases the Sky spiciness and flavor profile, just in a more forward style. There are still some of the old vines and they provide the structure and backbone that will make this wine a good one for aging. Try it today for $34.99.
