Sourced from the same family vineyard that Aldo, Nonna, Bob Biale and the Biale family have farmed their whole lives, with additional grapes from our neighboring winery vineyard in the Oak Knoll District, Black Chicken stands as the ultimate expression of Zinfandel from the cool southern Napa Valley, and perhaps the most famous icon of Napa Valley Zinfandel in general.

Ripe bramble berries. Sweet-fruit. Energy. I like the length – and the fact that it has not been overdone.

Lifted bouquet of black raspberry and blackberry. Plush and vibrant with tangy passionfruit acidity, supple tannins and excellent freshness. Excellent balance
