Robert Biale Black Chicken Zinfandel 2020

Home > Region > Region - California > Robert Biale Black Chicken Zinfandel 2020

Years ago, near the end of Prohibition, Aldo Biale made and sold wine in secret. He sold his jugs of Zin to friends and neighbors on the “down low”, and the phone started ringing regularly for re-orders. The Biale’s phone was a party line, so nosy neighbors could listen in on conversations, including orders for produce, eggs and a jug of Aldo’s homemade wine from barrels he hid in the barn. Since they also raised and sold chickens, the code word for the wine became Black Chicken, and that name continues to this day. Early harvest yields high quality wine grape crop. The Oak Knoll winegrowing region is prevalent in this wine with its ripe aromatics and juicy acidity. This wine is round and plush with perfectly ripe tannins and bright aromas of red and dark fruit – raspberries, cherries, and blackberries – star anise, black and white pepper, cocoa, and subtle, nuanced oak.

    This powerful & unique (Oakville designate) Zinfandel has brilliant aromas of both sweet and spicy notes jumping out of the glass. On the nose: raspberry jam, black pepper, and fall spices including clove. On the palate: this wine is medium bodied with smooth and supple tannins. It is well-balanced with a long lasting finish of ripe berries and pepper spice.

  • Storrs Rusty Ridge Zinfandel 2016, Santa Clara County, CA

    $37.00

    This proprietary cuvée hails from a series of old vine vineyards located on the eastern edge of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Head-trained and dry-farmed all, these vineyards yield very minimally allowing for intensely flavored fruit that produce wines of amazing concentration and varietal identity. Each vineyard which comes to the blend, adds something… one brambly fruit, the other backbone and spice, the other depth and concentration. Together these vineyards create a wine that will remind all of us why winemakers engage the four-wheel drive, and then hike through poison oak to uncover these gems that have nearly been forgotten to the outside world. Enjoy the wondeful scents of ripe brambleberries – raspberry, loganberry and boysenberry – with accents of black pepper and vanilla. Quite full-bodied, with a very supple palate. You’ll again encounter the rich brambleberry notes especially boysenberry complemented by soft vanilla owing to long-term aging in small oak cooperage.
