***CASE10 SELECTION***

NOTES: Papera Ranch, planted in 1934 in the Piner-Olivet area of Russian River Valley, is one of the most consistently excellent vineyards and 2024 is no exception. Composed of about 60% Zinfandel and 38% Carignan, with remaining fraction composed of nine other varieties, Papera is both elegant and powerful, with beautifully delineated blue and red fruits overlaying classic cool-year Russian River Valley tensile structure and brightness.

Picked on September 19th at 24.2 Brix, the fermentation included 20% whole cluster from the more Carignan-dominant section to enhance perfume and spice. Aged in a small percentage of newer oak, this was aged predominantly in 300-liter puncheons to put the focus squarely on the expressive fruit character. As always, this will age nicely but can also be enjoyed earlier for its sapidity and juiciness.
