Background
Although it comes from our Big Field vineyard block, we named this wine Eastside to fill the gap that opened in our single vineyard Zinfandel lineup when we ripped out our fatigued Westside vineyard in fall 2017. At the time this second vintage of Eastside Zin was harvested for standalone bottling, the vines were eight years old — Big Field, the first vineyard our parents planted in the early 80s, was replanted in 2009. As such this wine is a unique youthful expression from our property.
