title: Gary Farrell 2013 Maffei Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
description: From an Olivet Lane-situated site, where Pinot Noir is its likely neighbor, this head-trained vineyard is planted to a heritage selection put in the ground in the 1920s. It sings in black licorice and juicy black cherry, showing a tightness of texture and medium build, buoyant in acidity. This is a likable, complex wine with traces of dried herb that linger.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Maffei Vineyard
