Not every reserve is defined by a special block of vines or a handful of exceptional barrels. Some are defined by the story they tell.
The 2020 ZinStar Reserve was born during a year unlike any other. As the world slowed down, our team found the time to focus more deeply on the vineyard, the cellar, and the craft of winemaking. Long days of careful work were balanced by simple traditions: sharing a bottle of 1978 ZinStar over homemade lasagna, planting the winery's first hedgerow, and hand-delivering wine to members in David's 1940 Ford.
The result is a wine that reflects both the character of the vintage and the spirit of the people who made it. Rich, expressive, and thoughtfully crafted, the 2020 ZinStar Reserve is a tribute to resilience, craftsmanship, and finding joy in the simple things.
