Nickel & Nickel 2005 Ponzo Vineyard Zinfandel, Russian River Valley

Located in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, Ponzo Vineyard grows Zinfandel from vines planted around 1920, near the onset of Prohibition.  The climate is fairly cool and mild due to the coastal influences, morning fog, and breezy conditions that last throughout the summer.  Nickel & Nickel’s 11-acre block is planted on flat, sandy loam soil and is dry farmed, producing deeply concentrated fruit.
