1990 Edmunds St. John Brandlin Ranch Zinfandel, Mount Veeder, USA
$150.00
A library release direct from Steve Edmunds winery. Brandlin Ranch on Mt. Veeder is history in a bottle. Brandlin Ranch was Steve’s first source for his then-white-whale Mataro. In his pursuit of the grape, he found this dry-farmed, head-pruned site that had been planted in the 1920s. Richard and Chester Brandlin had been raised on this land with their father having tended it since Prohibition. Off a handshake deal, Steve began making wine from the vineyard in 1985 and continued until 1996 when the property was sold to Napa winemaker Peter Franus, who makes a zinfandel from here to this day,
