About Shelter 2015 Zinfandel, California
When a passion project wine like this is produced by one of the most iconic winemakers in all of Napa, you know it is going to be fantastic! Shelter is where iconic winemaker Robert Foley finds small plots of great fruit that would otherwise be sold to the usual suspects around California. He makes small productions of these wines to showcase the exquisite fruit which displays the intricacies of the region. The name "The Butcher" comes from a good friend of Bob's who is hands down the best butcher (and perhaps the most notorious) in Brooklyn.
For those not familiar with Mr. Foley, he began his wine making career in the Napa Valley in 1977, having just graduated from UC Davis with degrees in both Viticulture and Enology. He spent his first year working for Heitz Cellars, followed by 15 years as the founding winemaker for Markham Vineyards. In 1992, Bob began another 15 years as the founding winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards. He now focuses mostly on Robert Foley Vineyards wines, but also creates the offerings of Shelter Wines... and we are fortunate to have found this hidden gem from him!
This 100% Old Vine Zinfandel comes from two single vineyards, “Terra” and “Shannon Ranch”. That makes this wine 100% Lake County fruit and it was aged in 100% French oak. They performed an early harvest to help maintain freshness of fruit and balanced acidity.
Winery Tasting Notes: This is a serious zinfandel with bright plum fruit, notes of banana foster, and bright refreshing acidity. Drink Now to 2026.
