You can count on one hand the number of iconic wineries celebrated for Zinfandel and that list will always include Limerick Lane. Tucked into the northern edges of the Russian River Valley, where this historic appellation focuses less on Pinot Noir or Chardonnay and more on Rhône varietals and Zinfandel, this is the definition of a cult classic. Limerick Lane began as a grape supplier and, in 1985, the winery was founded to represent its own vines in bottle.
Mario Del Fava planted what is now called the "1910 Block" to Zinfandel back in, you guessed it, 1910. While it took another 75 years until the estate founded its own winery to bottle and market the wines from this unique terroir, each and every wine from Limerick Lane speaks of and to its illustrious history in the Russian River Valley. They do not, however, rest on their laurels here. After converting to organic farming methods in 2013, the estate hired renowned old vine specialist and (of Winestyr famed) Gros Ventre owner, Chris Pittenger, as their new winemaker.
