Old Hill Ranch is one of California’s oldest continuously farmed vineyards, with vines planted in the 1880s in Sonoma Valley, a true field blend of Zinfandel and dozens of co-planted varieties. Joel Peterson, the founder of Ravenswood and the godfather of California Zinfandel, has been working this site for decades, and Once & Future is where he gets to do it on his own terms again: small fermenters, native yeast, hand punch-downs, minimal intervention. Old Hill is consistently one of the most layered, perfumed, and complete Zinfandels in California. A living piece of wine history.
