Andy Robinson, who worked alongside Ted in the cellar for almost 20 years, is now Head Winemaker.

It is powerful yet refined, with dark and intense fruit, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. The grapes for ‘Cortina’ Zinfandel are primarily sourced from Chen’s Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The dry-farmed estate vineyard, planted in 1972, is influenced by cooling maritime breezes and is blanketed in fog most summer mornings, resulting in a longer growing season which allows the grapes to ripen at a steady pace.
