The 2016 ‘Artisan Series’ Old Vine Zinfandel is a blend of Tonti’s finest barrel selections - ones that were put aside for their individual characteristics and their intensity. It inspired Peter Tonti to bottle the wine in a limited quantity, in a special and meaningful package. Vivid violet in color, this 2016 Zinfandel offers dominant aromas and flavors of chocolate and berry pie crust with a satiny, tangy, fruity full body and supporting notes of raspberry preserves, chocolate blueberries, peppery spice and cedar. Dusty tannins and moderate oak come through on the finish.

Lamb Ragout on Whole Wheat Pasta
The seasoning on the sauce is more Middle Eastern than Italian. The sweetness of the roasted peppers, mint, cinnamon and allspice intensify the juiciness of the wine. You can serve the sauce over regular pasta, but the dish is best when made with whole-wheat pasta or buckwheat, if you can find it.

Cellar Rat Cioppino
The Cellar Rat Cioppino is a traditional Italian dish from the Hambrecht Family kitchen with much thanks to Alison Rosenblum. On Tuesdays during harvest, the cellar staff ends the day together with a big pot of stew and a few bottles of wine.
