The Story

I met Jay Heminway many years ago. He was thoughtful, clearly artistic, a little reserved (for a guy who raced motorcycles) but very enthusiastic about his winery project in Napa’s Chiles Valley. He and I started our respective wineries about the same time. He in 1977 and I in 1976. We were enthusiastic about Zinfandel, founding members, in 1992, of Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP), and both had connections to Berkeley and Chez Panisse....

Written Notes

The 2019 Zinfandel Green & Red Vineyard, another new wine in this range, is just stellar. It stands out for its silkiness and magnificent finesse. Freshly cut flowers, mint, crushed red berry fruit and orange peel are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite Zinfandel. All the elements fall into balance. The blend from Joel Peterson's hillside blocks is 80% Zinfandel and 20% Petite Sirah. Bright acids perk up the finish. Green & Red (sometimes referred to as Heminway) is named after the two main soil types on the property - red Chert and green Serpentine.
