*Due to high temperatures, some orders may experience shipping delays.

Planted over 100 years ago, Pacini vineyard is perched on the wild slopes of Mayacamas Mountain Range majestically overlooking Ukiah to the west. A true heritage vineyard, 2018 marks the year that the great-grandson bought the vineyard back into the family. With great care and vision the site is being rehabilitated in concert with the natural habitat by employing true dry-farming, sustainable practices, and sheep as natural (and very cute) mowers. The wine made from these centenarian vines presents a powerful yet elegant side of Zinfandel. May they continue to be fruitful for another century to come!

2022 BACA Somersault Zinfandel

Tasting notes

A stunning expression of Old Vine Zinfandel, this wine’s nose opens to a fresh, complex aroma of strawberries, black plum, and lavender. The palate is lush and juicy with firm tannins and lively acid  providing a nice balance to the fruit. A sensation of wet stone minerality follows, leading to a long, elegant finish.
