Zinfandel Wine 2018 – Dane Cellars Los Chamizal Vineyard

Experience the Essence of Moon Mountain: 2018 Dane Cellars Zinfandel

Discover a bold expression of Sonoma County terroir with our sustainably farmed 2018 Zinfandel from the prestigious Moon Mountain District AVA. Sourced exclusively from the renowned Los Chamizal Vineyard, planted by Peter Haywood in 1976, this wine captures the unique character of its elevated origins.

Perched at 800 feet on steep, terraced slopes just north of Sonoma, Los Chamizal benefits from dramatic diurnal shifts. Warm days nurture ripe fruit development, while cool nights preserve vibrant acidity – essential for crafting a balanced yet powerful California Zinfandel. Our grapes thrive in the vineyard’s highest elevations, rooted in thin, fractured basalt soils that impart remarkable minerality and concentration to the wine.

Dane Cellars is committed to sustainable viticulture. Los Chamizal employs permanent cover crops, organic fertilizers, and compost to nurture healthy soil and promote biodiversity, ensuring the land’s vitality for future vintages. This dedication shines through in every bottle.

Expect a robust Zinfandel (15.2% alc.) showcasing intense fruit character, structured by firm tannins and lifted by that signature Moon Mountain acidity – a hallmark of wines from this distinctive appellation. Perfect for savoring now or cellaring, this wine embodies the rugged beauty and exceptional quality of its sustainably farmed Sonoma mountain source.
