| Note |
Cox Vineyard, planted in 1956, is located in Mendocino County north of Ukiah. These old vines grow on gentle hills in rocky soils. During the long, hot growing season, drip irrigation is sparingly used to maintain vine health. The soil and temperature stress the vines just enough to produce rich jammy-peppery flavored zinfandel grapes.
Zinfandel for Wild Thing Zin and Carignane for Rendezvous Rosé come from the Cox Vineyard. The indigenous yeasts found the Zinfandel grapes in the vineyard allow Carol to use a wild yeast fermentation, which lead to the naming of Wild Thing Zin.
In 2002, Cox Vineyard passed the rigorous CCOF standards for organically grown.
