Purchase 2008 Hullabaloo, Zinfandel, Lodi

Webster's Dictionary (The Voice of Authority) defines a Hullabaloo as : "To cause an uproar or fuss", and we are certain this wine is positioned to do just that! Taking advantage of some strong old timer grower relations, we have been able to source some wonderful old vine Zinfandel from several Napa Valley vineyards. Please don't ask us from where, as we have been sworn to secrecy; just know the same grapes go into wines that retail for three to four times the price. Also since people always ask us about our interesting labels, here is a little bit about Hullabaloo: We chose the classic 19th century strongman icon as we thought it was fitting of the period between 1850 and 1900 (around the time Zinfandel was planted and began to flourish in California). The strongman was not only an exhibitor of feats of strength but his main purpose was also to showcase his great size, boldness and symmetry- kind of describes old vine Zinfandel doesn't it?
The 2008 Hullabaloo Old Vines Zinfandel displays aromas of fresh raspeberry, blackberry, cracked pepper and cedar. Showing exceptional balance on the palate, there are rich flavors of chocolate covered cherries, blackberry, anise and pepper. This wine will continue to age gracefully for the next 5 - 7 years.
