2018 ROBERT BIALE BLACK CHICKEN NAPA VALLEY ZINFANDEL

The Biale family has deep roots in Napa Valley agriculture, and their flagship Black Chicken Zinfandel is an absolute classic. The story of how the wine got its name is as rich and intriguing as the wine itself. In the 1940s, the Biale’s were also poultry farmers, but had a multiparty phone line. To stay incognito with their wine sales, customers would call and ask for a dozen eggs and a Gallo Nero or Black Chicken, which was the code-word for a jug of Aldo Biale’s homemade Zin. Fast-forward some 80 years later, and the Black Chicken Zinfandel deserves the reputation they’ve earned for its relentless quality.

This is one of those Napa Valley Red Wines that Every Wine Lover should try at least a 6-pack, and FANS of BIALE should stock-up with cases… Legendary Napa Juice!
