Mission Codename The Infinite

Starting with the 2006 vintage of this wine, we’ve tasted all successive vintages. Not only is this 2011 the best of the bunch, today’s Ottimino 2011 Rancho Bello Vineyard Zinfandel is the best Zin that we’ve had the good fortune to taste all this year!

Winegrower Brad Alper and winemaker Bill Knuttle make a formidable team. The sole focus of their Ottimino label is on the noble Zinfandel varietal - and wow, do they nail it!

Today’s wine is lush, layered, aromatic and so very delicious.

Ottimino allowed us exclusive access to their library, but there isn’t very much of this fantastic wine left. Zinfandel lovers are encouraged to take advantage while they can.

Here’s how WIA Works:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll revisit the TOP hits of 2024. Our favorite winemaker. The top Italian. A treasured cult selection, and the ever-popular most wanted Napa Cab.

Plus many more.

  • If you're in the Facebook group, check out the pinned post and please drop your favorites. If we can, we'll work in a special Operative requests day.
  • And yes, I know some of you are trying to exercise restraint, and we apologize. But it is the season of giving, and a case of wine for yourself is self care, right?
  • The discounts, as usual, will be steep and deep. Hopefully you'll find more than a few of your favorites from the past year. Every one of these wines has proven extremely popular so we encourage you to act fast and early as quantities are often even more limited the second time around.
  • As we near the Holidays and wrap up another great year we are as ALWAYS, ever grateful for your ongoing support. It's been an amazing year and we cannot wait to do it again in 2025.
