Bucklin Old Hill Ranch Ancient Field Blend 2022

Grape: Zinfandel Grenache & Others
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red

The Bucklin Old Hill Ranch Ancient Field Blend 2022, sourced from a historic, dry-farmed Sonoma Valley vineyard planted in 1885, is a complex, richly structured red blend that features dark, brambly fruit notes of plum, blackberry, and raspberry, accented by layers of spice, anise, cocoa, and an herbal lift. The wine is made from a co-harvested and co-fermented mix of over thirty different grape varieties—approximately 60% Zinfandel, with significant portions of Grenache, Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, and other mixed black and white grapes. Following native yeast fermentation in open-top tanks, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, typically with about 25% new wood, to achieve a harmonious balance of opulent fruit, velvety tannins, and the signature Old Hill intensity.
