Guys! Hey guys! It's the traditional "First Friday of the June" song. Let's sing it!
Should briary varietals be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should briary varietals be forgot,
and Old Zin Vine?
For Old Zin Vine, my dear,
for Old Zin Vine,
we'll take a glass of earth'ness yet,
for Old Zin Vine.
And surely yours will have notes of rose
and surely so will mine!
And we'll take a glass of spiciness yet,
for Old Zin Vine.
We two have tasted bright red fruits,
white pepper in this wine.
But we also taste pomegranate,
in Old Zin Vine.
We two agree it's refreshing,
a Zinfandel so fine.
And lingers long from start till end,
this Old Zin Vine.
And here's another glass my friend!
And the one right here, that's mine!
And we'll drink to Old World hue and style,
for Old Zin Vine.

2011 Scott Harvey Wines Zinfandel, Amador County, Old Vine Reserve 750ml 4-Pack
Accolades:
91 Points, Exceptional, Beverage Tasting Institute
Briary varietal Zinfandel. Old World style and color. Spicy, earthy and refreshing with aromas and flavors of roses, pomegranate, cherry Grenache, strawberry, bright red fruits, white pepper and Redwood forest. Long lingering finish showing a complete wine from beginning to end. Old vine complexity with first growth quality.
Vineyard Notes: A complex wine due to the blending of two great vineyards. The traditional base of this wine is the Old Vine Norton/DeMille vineyard. This vineyard was planted during Prohibition. My grandfather, George DeMille, nurtured the vineyard through the hard time so that we can enjoy wines from it today. I actually still have his still from those bygone days of midnight tax free production. The balance of the wine is from the Spinetta Vineyard, which is planted from cuttings of the oldest documented Zinfandel vineyard in America, Vineyard 1869. These vineyards are non-irrigated, standalone head pruned vines that express the old world Zinfandel terroir.
After decades of creating and crafting premium wines for wineries like Santino and Folie a Deux – and putting Amador County on the map as a world-class appellation – Scott Harvey launched his own winery in 2004. With decades of winemaking experience on two continents, it’s no wonder his wines have become an immediate sensation. It’s an overnight success 35 years in the making. (Oh, and Scott’s not too shabby with a pen, either.)
