Bliss Zinfandel
Estate Zinfandel from Hopland, poured in Commack since the start.
The story behind Bliss
Irv Bliss bought the original 450 acre ranch in 1943. Four generations later his descendants, the Bliss and Brutocao families, still farm it in Hopland, down in Mendocino County where the valley floor turns to gravelly sandy loam. Hot days, cool nights, ripe fruit.
Every drop of Bliss Zinfandel comes off those estate blocks, the Bliss and Feliz vineyards, 100 percent Zinfandel with nothing blended in. It ferments in stainless steel, then rests on French and American oak staves for vanilla and warm spice. The 2021 vintage took 88 points from Wine Enthusiast. We have poured it across this counter for years.
