The Archduke Old Vine Zinfandel 2019

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

Zinfandel is California’s signature red, and we’re thrilled to present this gorgeous example. The Archduke hails from the historic J Rickards Vineyard, dating back to 1908, in Sonoma’s premium Alexander Valley. In-the-know Cabernet fans head to this tiny, northeastern corner of Sonoma because it specializes in ripe, complex flavors (and Napa-beating values). As you’ll taste, it’s also aces with Zin, earning it a shiny silver from the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
The gnarled, old vines produced seriously concentrated grapes—thanks, in part, to the great 2019 vintage—which resulted in a wine of beautiful depth and complexity. Look forward to ripe, dark berry flavors, plus intriguing spice and wild herb notes.
Truly a red fit for a king (or an archduke, of course!).
