This elegant, refined and almost Burgundian style wine is a blend of Biale's old vine parcels from the North coast. Brilliant garnet red in the glass with ripe raspberry and Bing cherry notes on a lifted and silky, pleasure packed palate of crushed, tangy sweet berries. Biale crafts their Zin exactly in the style of Cru red Burgundy and the best part is-This Zin is nearly half the price of their vineyard bottlings! Limited release.

Perfecting the timeless classics of California, Robert Biale Vineyards has established itself as a respected standard for heritage vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Napa Valley. Since the winery's inception, the Biale Founders have held dear the tradition of historic old vines, some dating back to the 1880s, valuing the limited yield of concentrated and intense fruit they produce. The winery is known for its meticulous farming, expressive terroir, and exceptional elegance.
In Winemaker David Natali's repertoire of 20 crafted wines, the Black Chicken Zinfandel stands out as the flagship and has become a benchmark for the varietal. The story traces back to the 1940s when 14-year-old Aldo Biale assisted his mother in making ends meet by selling homemade Zinfandel, along with eggs and produce, to well-connected locals in Napa. The code words ‘a Black Chicken’ were used over the old party line phone system to discreetly signify a jug of bootleg wine, effectively keeping nosy neighbours and authorities unaware of Aldo's underground Zinfandel operation.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
