This Zin displays torque and potency, offering deep flavors of dried cherry and blackberry highlighted by licorice, Asian five-spice and savory pepper before finishing with briary tannins. Best from 2025 through 2032.

Carol Shelton “Monga Zin” Cucamonga Valley Old Vine Zinfandel Organic 2022

Historic vines, organic farming, and pure old-school California character.
The 2022 Monga Zin comes from the legendary Lopez Vineyard in Cucamonga Valley—planted in 1918 and farmed organically in the desert foothills east of Los Angeles. Carol Shelton transforms this rare old-vine fruit into a vibrant, spicy, and beautifully expressive Zinfandel that honors California's early winegrowing heritage.
