2020 LIMERICK LANE ZINFANDEL RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

$39.99

Jake Bilbro of Limerick Lane Winery is the third steward of the historic property since the Del Fava family planted the estate vineyard in 1910. The Del Favas saw the potential of the land early on, even before modern science that is commonly used today in the New World to determine the best soils, plots, and which rootstock and clones will thrive to the fullest.

Limerick Lane’s Russian River Zinfandel is a field blend including ancient Zinfandel vines co-planted with Peloursin, Negrette, and Syrah. The winery is proud of its “hands-off, eyes on” approach that continues to lead to uniquely rich and powerful wines with brightness and elegance that earned the 2018 and 2019 vintages scores in the mid-90s. The newly released 2020 vintage is just as glorious, offering substantial value at forty bucks.

Family Owned, Boutique Winery: Perennially high-scoring Old Vine Zin from Sonoma… “There is something special about wine from a site that has sat largely unchanged for 110 years.”

2020 LIMERICK LANE ZINFANDEL RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

Limerick Lane dials in an ideal balance of rich, powerful, and expressive Zinfandel that’s simultaneously fresh, bright, and focused. The winery is run by fourth-generation winemaker Jake Bilbro who grew up at his father’s Marietta Cellars. The wines are made by Chris Pittenger, who gained first-hand experience working at iconic wineries Biale, Torbreck, Marcassin, and Williams-Selyem. The previous vintages have earned monstrous 95 Point ratings from Jeb Dunnuck, and this new 2020 vintage seems to get even better each year…

Here’s a Unique and Delicious Sonoma Red Wine to share with family and friends, one of the best wines for BBQ and Rich Italian Cuisine : try pairing with Braised Ribs, or perhaps your Favorite Italian Dish – I personally love it with Baked Ziti and Penne Bolognese … salute!

Tasting Notes, “The 2020 Limerick Lane Zinfandel begins with fresh aromas of cranberry, raspberry, boysenberry jam, and spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves, pepperwood, cedar, mushrooms. The sweet baking spices linger into a long and pleasant finish that enhances the fresh acidity and bright fruit character. This wine is charming on its own but is a lovely complement to a variety of dishes.”

Tasting Notes from Limerick Lane Winery, “Our Russian River Zinfandel is our flagship wine… While seamless and with an unparalleled clarity of flavor and aromas, there is also an undeniable gravity that Limerick Lane Zinfandel seems to exude. It may be nothing more than a romantic appreciation for the hands that have tended these vines for over a century…. Maybe the rocks, the dirt, the morning fog and the afternoon sun come together in this place a little differently than anywhere else. It may even be all of these special characteristics combined, but the Zinfandel grown at the end of this little lane is undeniably special, undeniably unique, and undeniably “Limerick Lane.”
