Four Vines Zinfandel
Bold California Zinfandel, poured in Commack since the surf shack days.
The story behind Four Vines
Four Vines was founded in 1994 by Christian Tietje, a chef turned winemaker working out of a garage and a surf shack in Paso Robles. He wanted fruit forward, rule breaking Zinfandel, and the brand still buys every grape from grower partners rather than estate vineyards, pulling from Lodi and Paso Robles. Purple Wine Company acquired it in 2010.
The grape itself is California's heritage variety, though it started on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia as Crljenak Kaštelanski. Four Vines leans on head trained, dry farmed vines 30 to 70 plus years old, ferments for maximum extraction, then ages about 10 months in a tri oak program of French, Hungarian and American barrels.
