Zin the Prolific


After a small crop of Zinfandel last year our Bismark Mountain Ranch in the Mayacamas Mountains is loaded with fruit.  Bismark's thin volcanic soiils won't support a crop this size and furthermore  Zinfandel is almost as sensitive as Pinot noir to overcropping.  In order to make the typical rich, ripe Hanna Bismark Zinfandel we needed to drop a lot the green fruit on the ground. Less is more baby!
