The grapes for this wine are all hand-harvested, meticulously sorted during a visual inspection, then crushed by foot rather than by machine, using traditional French ‘pigeage’.

The 2019 Neyers Vineyards Vista Notre Zinfandel is a quintessential Lodi Zinfandel. Aromatically, it is brimming with bright, fragrant, red berry/cherry fruit, while also bristling with black peppercorn spice.

The grapes grown in this area combine the cold weather of The Sonoma Coast with the rocky soil of the west-slope of the Mayacamas Range.

There are differences between oaked and unoaked expressions from this iconic winery, but the common thread of racy acidity and freshness is remarkable.
