Old Hill Ranch is one of California’s oldest vineyards. “Bambino” comes from a 10-acre block planted in 1998. This years Bambino was made with 81% zinfandel, 9% petite sirah, 4% alicante bouchet, 6% syrah, grenache and carignane. No chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides are used and dry farming is practiced. Intense fruit with an ample backbone of acidity and tannins make for a complex field blend.

Established in 1865, this vineyard is now Old Hill Ranch winery, which was founded in 2000 by the four Bucklin siblings: Arden, Kate, Ted and Will. Will Bucklin has been a vintner for over 20 years, working in France, Australia, Sonoma, Mendocino and Oregon. Certified organic, the 24-acre vineyard is a dry-farmed Zinfandel field blend. Average yields of Old Hill rarely exceed one and a quarter tons per acre.
