This old-vine Zinfandel’s alluring aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and cassis are the highlights of the single-vineyard Jolene’s bottling. The texture is rich and mouth-filling with ripe blueberry and tobacco characteristics, supple tannins and a creamy, elegant finish.

Vineyard & Vintage Character

Jolene’s Vineyard takes its name from a merging of the first names of the owners of Maffei Vineyards—Joanne and Arlene. This old-vine vineyard joined the Hartford Zinfandel portfolio in 2004, as a single vineyard offering, and as an important component of our Russian River Valley Zinfandel blend. It is rare for an older Russian River Valley Zinfandel vineyard such as Jolene’s to be planted almost exclusively to Zinfandel selections; there is only a small percentage of Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Carignane intermingled among the vines.
