This wine represents all that is great about Zinfandels. The bold aroma seductively invites you to sip and savor the complex flavors of berries and spice. It is truly a beautiful wine that will delight your senses on so many levels. Its silky smooth finish leaves you thirsting for more.

Osborn Ranch Primitivo clone vines produce small berries on loose clusters with a dark skin and fruit-forward flavors likened to raspberry jam and dark plum, with a twist of black pepper.

Vineyard Notes

Our Great Great Grandfather, Broder Frellson, was the winemaker and general manager for the original Red Winery in Alexander Valley (owned by Stagg’s Leap Winery). When Red Winery changed ownership in the mid 1890’s, Broder chose to make Alexander Valley his permanent home and purchased the Osborn Ranch.

In 2006, we selected the Two Horses block on the Osborn Ranch to plant new zinfandel vines, the Primitivo clone. The ground beneath these vines is made up of silty loam for the first two feet and then a gravely loam base. The soil structure drains exceedingly well, resulting in very balanced vines.
