David Darlington has written about old-vine California zinfandel
for this magazine and in his book Angels' Visits: An Inquiry into the
Mystery of Zinfandel. For this issue, he crosses over to old Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon vines, rarer commodities that apparently
lack the staying power of zin, though the wines they produce are
some of the most sought-after in the valley.
