About the wine
Barrel-aged old-vine Zinfandel from a Dry Creek Valley expert
- This Zinfandel comes in with bold dark berry fruit flavors, richer than a mouthful of blueberry jam, and leaves you with a slight kick of pepper and spice on the long finish.
- For this Zin, winemaker Mike Saini blended hand-harvested grapes from a trio of old-vine parcels growing on his family’s Saini Dry Creek Valley Ranch, then aged the finished wine in oak barrels for a full 11 months.
- Mike is a champion of Sonoma who loves to celebrate his favorite vineyards, particularly those of Dry Creek Valley. If you’re after a classic example of this subregion’s high-quality Zinfandel, this is the wine for you.
Best before
You can enjoy this wine now, but know that it can age extremely well for 10+ years.
Serving advice
I would open and allow it to air out a little before taking that first sip.
Food match
I love this wine with ribs and pizza!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mike Saini
In June 2019, the Sainis – a 4th generation farming family in Dry Creek and Alexander Valley – opened up their first tasting room to feature wines crafted and made on their family land. They were forced to close less than a year later, following state COVID closures.
“We’ve closed our doors twice for crisis,” Mike said – for the Kincade Fire (Nov 2019) and now for the COVID-19 pandemic. With limited restaurant and DTC sales, the Sainis are inundated with wine, with no room to bottle future vintages. Cue Angels!
Lucky us. Mike Saini has a real passion for Sonoma, coupled with a truly special familiarity with every vineyard block responsible for the wines he makes. Look forward to a jaw-dropping introduction to Dry Creek Valley from a family who loves it most.
