Rocking Z Zinfandel

Situated at the base of Bradford Mountain on the western slopes of Dry Creek Valley, Shippey Vineyards is comprised of two small vineyards, one planted to Zinfandel, the Rocking Z Vineyard, and the other to Petite Sirah, the Flaming J Vineyard. (The first release of our Flaming J Petite Sirah will be the 2007 vintage to be released spring of 2009).

This first release of our Rocking Z Zinfandel shows the great promise and potential of this hillside vineyard with its well drained gravelly loam soil and vines grafted to the Cloverdale Church heritage clone. A deep rich color, good structure and balance, and forward aromas and flavors of berries and spice are on full display in this limited production, 100% Zinfandel, from California's premier growing region for this quintessential California variety.
