There are few wineries that are almost single-handedly the torch bearer for a varietal. Despite the overwhelming number of Zinfandel producers in the U.S., Larry is in a league of his own. Since the co-founder of Frog’s Leap Winery first left to start his own winery in 1993, he has built one of the most impressive vineyard portfolios in all of California.
Most are made into their own single-vineyard bottling, creating a dizzying array of wines made each year. However – the best value of the whole bunch might be the one outlier. Some of Larry’s most prized vineyards are just too small to bottle on their own.
Taken from vineyards as old as 129 years (even the youngest is over 40 years old), these tiny lots are blended together into one single ‘California’ Appellation wine that is absolutely stunning for the price point.
The 2017 Old Vines Zinfandel is an absolute explosion of dark fruits. Quite easily the most powerful wine I’ve tasted so far this year. It’s not for the faint of heart. Round, juicy and full-bodied but with tons of spicy overtone.

92 pts, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2017 Zinfandel Old Vines features exotic spice accents over a core of blueberry and boysenberry compote, crushed black cherries and berries with notes of cinnamon stick and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, it has loads of spicy black and blue fruits in the mouth with firm, ripe tannins to frame and juicy acidity, finishing long and very spicy. 12,000 cases produced.

The 50 hectare estate of Maurice Robert is the jewel of this beautiful growing region, located east of Bordeaux. Robert is first and foremost a viticulturist, tending his vines like gardens. The Bordeaux Rouge 2016, a barrel-fermented, vibrant blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with juicy cassis fruit and just the right touch of savory spice. It is a perfect choice for roasted poultry, grilled burgers or steaks or any Alpine cheese.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
