- Winemaker: Alex Pits & Marty Winters
- Farming: Sustainable with Organic practices
- Variety: Zinfandel
- Terroir: Planted in the 1940s, the Stampede Vineyard is an own-rooted Zinfandel planting in the toe-hills of the Sierra Nevada mountains within Lodis Clements Hills AVA. With soils composed of decomposed granite, the Stampede Vineyard lies on a parcel that overlooks an old riverbed on one side, and the Clements Stampede rodeo grounds on the other.
- Vinification: Harvested on August 28th, fermented with native yeasts in a mix of whole cluster and destemmed open top fermentations.
- Aging: Aged exclusively in 500L puncheons for 14 months before being bottled with no fining or filtration.
- Tasting Notes: Strawberry, plum and raspberry with a touch of cola and licorice round out a bright finish with subtle texture but sturdy tannins. The finesse of this wine makes it drinkable now, but will age for years to come.
- Scores: 93 points, Antonio Galloni (Vinous)
