Check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLot 89 2024 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel, while technically in the \"Sonoma Valley\" appellation, is sourced from well-over 50-year-old vines located at 2000-feet of elevation in the Maycamas Mountains. The producer of the wine would only sell it as Sonoma Valley (which actually encompasses Moon Mountain, Sonoma Mountain and Bennett Valley), \u003cstrong\u003ebut it is safe to assume the wine is from Moon Mountain AVA\u003c\/strong\u003e as Sonoma Mountain doesn't have the elevation nor does the Sonoma Valley floor (as one could imagine :-). The producer does not name the vineyard anywhere on their website, so it seems they go out of their way to protect that source. I think it's safe to assume its a gem of a property they'd rather not share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eI've also been all over my Vinous vineyard maps of Moon Mountain but can't seem to pin down the vineyard...I thought at first Hanna Bismarck which has elevations but the vine age doesn't add up and Monte Rosso is too low in elevation as, it seems, is Montecillo. Oh well, I guess it shall remain a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is not a mystery is that this wine is an absolute gem and, with the producer bottling retailing for \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWELL OVER $60+\/bottle\u003c\/span\u003e a stunning deal at $129\/case, I promise.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eZin-lovers, it is indeed time to back up the truck, Zinfandel Perfection is here!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMedium ruby\/deep garnet in the glass with a deep-yet-bright and boisterous bouquet of brambly berries haloed with black pepper and fresh tobacco leaf and underpinned with notes of cedar and chocolate from seasoned oak.
