Sky, Zinfandel, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley, California 2016

100% organic Zinfandel

Planted at 2100 feet in volcanic soils way up on Mount Veeder, Sky makes a Zinfandel like no other. Spicy, wild, and balanced, it has nothing to do with the jammy Zinfandels that California has been known for. Ageworthy and expressive, they perfectly reflect this special terroir. 

Hand-harvested, manually crushed with a 100-year old basket press, and aged in 1-10 year old French oak barrels. 

Since its first commercial release in 1981, Sky Vineyards has produced some of the most distinctive mountain-grown Zinfandels and Syrahs in Napa Valley. Founder Lore Olds began his career in the early 1970s at estates such as Beaulieu and Mayacamas Vineyards before purchasing his own land atop Mount Veeder in 1973. Planted in red volcanic soils at 2,100 feet on an east-facing slope, Sky is the highest vineyard on the mountain, yielding wines of unmistakable character.
