Rodney Strong Estate Knotty Vines Zinfandel 2008

Zinfandel vines have been thriving in Sonoma County during the last three centuries. When Rod Strong first acquired benchland acreage on the west side of the Russian River, he wisely chose to leave untouched the 15 acres of old, gnarled zinfandel vines that had been growing there since 1904. Today we still harvest zinfandel from those same old vines, along with a handful of vineyards we farm to the north in the Alexander Valley.

Fresh, bright berry fruit from our heritage Russian River vineyard combined with the ripe peppery jamminess from our Alexander Valley vineyards make for wonderful diversity of flavor showcasing the best that zinfandel can offer in one wine.
