A fantastic new release from Limerick Lane, one of our favorite California wineries. Limited.

97 Points Vinous:  "The 2021 1920 Block emerges from the oldest vines on the property. Dense, dark and beguiling, the 2021 packs a serious punch. Succulent black cherry, blackberry, spice, rose petal, pomegranate and blood orange saturate the palate. The 2021 is distinguished by its density, power and resonance. This is the essence of Limerick Lane. What a wine!”

95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Zinfandel 1910 Block pours a deep ruby/purple with electric highlights, with unfolding layers of menthol, black raspberry compote, cracked pepper, and fresh leather. Full-bodied, it’s more structured, with ripe tannins and a darker profile of black cherry, red berries, autumn leaves, and lavender. Drink this well-detailed and fantastic wine over the next 10 or more years."

Winery Notes: The historic Limerick Lane Estate was first planted to grapes in 1910 by the Del Fava family. Interplanted with historic mixed black varieties the likes of Peloursin, Negrette, Alicante Bouchet, Syrah, and Petite Sirah, the 1910 Block is not only historic, it is completely unique in its percentage of varieties planted. We pick and co-ferment all of the varieties and don’t control the influence of the “mixed blacks” preferring instead to allow them to define their own role in the resulting wine.  295 cases produced.
