Limerick Lane Vineyard—planted in 1910 by the Del Fava family near Healdsburg—harbors some of California’s oldest surviving Zinfandel vines, supplemented by a field blend of Peloursin, Negrette, and Petite Sirah that speaks to turn-of-century Russian River planting philosophy. October’s devastating fires nearly claimed this historic vineyard, but Matthiasson’s early-harvest discipline meant fruit came in before the crisis—preserving the varietal’s defining intensity and acidity. At nine years old, this wine shows the characteristic brambly power of mature Limerick Lane Zin: dark berry, spice, and the kind of structural intensity that demands food and promises evolution. The field blend’s complexity—the other varietals’ herbal notes and tannic structure—deepens the wine’s personality beyond straight Zinfandel bombast. This is a wine rooted in history (116 years of vines), place (Russian River’s warm, complex terroir), and vintage drama (surviving 2017’s fires through careful timing). Drink now with hearty food, or cellar for another five years as the old vines’ depth emerges.

More about Matthiasson

Steve and Jill Matthiasson believe food matters more than wine—so they make 'food wines' that refresh, not impress. Their Napa estate favors bright acidity, lower alcohol, and grapes most California winemakers ignore. Organic, regenerative, unpretentious. The kind of winery that makes you remember why you got interested in wine in the first place.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled tri-tip steak with herb crust; Spicy Italian sausage with peppers and onions; Pulled pork with barbecue sauce; Chili with beans and cornbread

Tasting Profile

Historic old vines and a field blend create characteristic intensity—dark berry, spice, and brambly complexity frame the palate. Firm, structured tannins reflect old-vine ripeness and Petite Sirah’s tannic contribution, while Zinfandel’s natural acidity maintains freshness. Full-bodied and powerful, with structural complexity that rewards food pairing and promises continued development.
