His real name was Claude. But his father thought that sounded wimpy, so he called him Jake instead. Everyone else knew him as THE BONESHAKER.
His no-holds-barred attitude shook people to the core. He reeked of a big, bold aroma that reached out and grabbbed hold of ya. And when did, you counted your blessings, my friend. Because that's when you knew your days of garden-variety discount wine were numbered.
The Boneshaker was as smooth, dark and full-bodied as they come. He was deep purple. SO HELP ME GOD, DEEP PURPLE! He mostly kept to himself, and claimed he was just fine on his own. Because the one time he did oblige an invitation to a dinner party, rumors spread like wild fire. They say he devoured an entire pot of Texas-style chuck chili in one bite.
Some say on nights when the moon is full but partially obscured by clouds, and you've got a club sandwich sitting on a plate next to you, you'll see his reflection for a split second in the reflection of a freshly poured glass of Zinfandel. But if you ask me, that's just superstitious nonsense.
It's actually a roast porchetta sandwich.
2012 Boneshaker Lodi Zinfandel 750ml 4-Pack
This big, bold and intense Zinfandel is the fourth vintage in line to earn the name Boneshaker. Grown from sustainably farmed vineyards in Lodi, this Zinfandel was fermented in new French oak barrels for an additional layer of complexity, while a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon enhances the structure of the final blend. This wine boasts flavors ranging from macerated blackberry and plum jam to sweet dark chocolate set against a velvety mouthfeel and a richly satisfying finish.
Pairing Notes: This wine’s virtues are evident on its own, but it ascends to new heights when paired with a roast porchetta sandwich or Texas style chuck chili.

The spectacular beauty of California's central coast is probably the best-known region in all of California for its unique lifestyle. Monterey County's dramatic ocean scenery, historic communities, artistic culture, verdant pine forests, and bountiful agriculture have beckoned adventure-seekers, seafarers, artists, writers and vacationers for over 100 years. And the 99 miles of breathtaking Pacific coastline is something no other California county can boast.
With an inspiration to raise Monterey wines to the highest level, the wines of Hahn Estates are created with a philosophy that all great wines are special – akin to the region they were grown in. The Hahn wines celebrate everything that is Monterey – unique in thought, style and setting. In the mid-1970’s, Nicolaus “Nicky” Hahn and his wife, Gaby, bought two ranches –turned –vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, in the renowned Monterey County appellation on California’s Central Coast. They produced their first wines in 1980. As we mark our 30th anniversary, the Hahns now own about 1,000 acres in Monterey County, with half in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Hahn Family Wines produces eight brands: Hahn Winery, Smith & Hook, Hahn SLH Estate, Cycles Gladiator, Huntington, Lucienne, BIN 36, and Copa del Rey.
