Produced in the old world style of balanced winemaking. We want the wine to express the Amador Zinfandel terroir with a good balance of fruit, French oak, structural tannins, and medium alcohol. The wine is made in the California Claret style reminiscent of the balanced Zinfandels produced back in the 60âs and 70âs. Briary varietal, layered Zinfandel with aromas and flavors of blackberry, fig, pomegranate, violets, and a balanced, fleshy center with hints of coffee and bright currants. Old Vine complexity and first growth quality.

The Vineyard
For over 145 years these ancient vines have plunged their roots through twenty-five feet of multiple soil types in search of water. The result is an elegant, complex, first-growth wine. Vineyard 1869âs existence was noted in a deed from an 1869 U.S. Geological Survey, making it Americaâs oldest documented Zinfandel vineyard. The immigrants who planted these vines chose them from hardy stock. In the 1890âs the vines survived the nearly total destruction of Californiaâs vineyards by phylloxera. Due to moon-lit nights of unregulated distillation, Vineyard 1869 also survived Prohibition. It wasnât until 1984 when the vineyard was purchased by Scott Harvey, a German-trained, California winemaker, that the vines were lovingly coaxed back into producing small yields of high quality, first-growth Zinfandel. It is now coveted for producing Californiaâs premier Old Vine Zinfandel.

How much more are you saving by buying 2 magnums?

Scott Harvey 1869 Magnum, Signed - $10 = 6.25%
Somewhere in the dormant halls of The Wooster Inn, lay 2 bottles of 1869 I ordered and didnât pick up in time . Actually, by now theyâre probably empty bottles haha.
UPS might be an option; they have been waiving the signature requirements lately. My last two shipments were unsigned, with the most recent just being left by my front door. A silver lining in the Corona cloud.
@rpstrong When I got my labrat bottleâthanks, again!âI saw the guy getting out of the truck so I went outside to greet him.
Expecting to sign, he treated me like a leper. âWhat is the last name?â Seems like good policy for the workers and a benefit to those on casemates.
@KNmeh7 I suspect that the official policy calls for them to deliver to a âsober adultâ. And I suspect that if a driver is faced with either a re-delivery or a hard-to-catch violation, heâll leave the box.
[Fortunately, I live in an area where porch piracy is essentially unknown.]
@rpstrong Oh, that was the pre-covid policy. Did you not notice EVERYTHING has changed? I can get margaritas delivered to my door now (Ohio). Everything is different, at least here, (Yay, DeWine?! I guess.) Official policy from 4 months ago is basically worthless.
@KNmeh7 The pre-virus policy required the driver to collect a signature, which proved that he followed policy. Thatâs whatâs changed - heâs still supposed to follow policy, but it is a lot easier to bend the rules if no signature is needed.
@KNmeh7@rpstrong UPS driver (I know my regular driver and heâs very good) said no more signatures needed. I said âI think the rules say you canât be visibly intoxicatedâ and he said âwell we wonât worry about that one.â
@KNmeh7@rpstrong Well the UPS driver has been very good (I have two houses on the same street, one I live in and one I am fixing up) and so he knows to look for me at one place if Iâm not in the other. The other day when the case of Iron Horse chardonnay came in, as he was going back to his truck I asked if he was allowed to take âtips?â and so I gave him a bottle from the case. I even had a brown paper bag handy so it wasnât so obvious.
Hi Everyone,
Guess I waited to long to get on Casemates this morning. Surprised it is already sold out. Weâll have to do another offering real soon. Jana is working it now. Thanks
@ScottHarveyWine Surprised it sold out? Really? It was inevitable. Sadly, with the uncertainty of it all, I didnât get in, but thanks for this offer. Anyone who purchased will be rewarded.
@rjquillin I took his comment to mean this is it. However, I also took it to mean Jana is working on something else. So⊠can we give some suggestions?
Barbera!!! All the barbera! Tickle Me Pink is a crowd favorite. Or, hell, anything from you two!
UPS delivery âattemptâ today to a commercial address at ~13:30 (claims UPS)
Other deliveries, but not brown.
No door tag.
Called CS, yup they claim, unable to deliver.
Will re-deliver today (got my phone or you can P/U at the center between 19:30 and 20:00.
Not delivered.
Not available for P/U either.
Brown stinks.
Not a dig on WD, but, for me, brown should just be flushed.
@ScottW58
Mixed; home and work.
Yesterday at work, where this was scheduled to be delivered: not.
Was then supposed to be held for P/U at the center that is on the way home: NOT.
Iâm sorry, but UPS just blows, at least for my surrounding areas.
Physically at work again today as well.
Some things ya just canât do from home.

1869 is terrific stuff, but no South Dakota delivery.

This is an always buy, but alas, no New Jersey again, and no FedEx to nearby New York. Sigh.

Any chance on more the 2pks becoming available? Had one in the cart and got busy here at work. Came back to finalize, and it was gone!

No surprise to me! Your wines are sublime and your participation is outstanding!

Dang! Missed it! Coincidentally, just opened the last bottle of this from the last mix pack this week. It was delicious.
Is there still hope from Jana?
@rjquillin I took his comment to mean this is it. However, I also took it to mean Jana is working on something else. So⊠can we give some suggestions?
Barbera!!! All the barbera! Tickle Me Pink is a crowd favorite. Or, hell, anything from you two!
Jana is working on a Barbera offer of 750ml size bottles.
Look forward to getting back on soon.
Yes, please!
No surprise this sold out. Really yummy stuff! I missed out, but have some of the 750ml so Iâm not to upset
WTFâŠ
Hope to see you again real soon Scott.
A mixed 750 of white label Barbera and 1869 would hit the spot over in my house
Itâd even get us to buy when we really really should not be.
Dang it⊠this is my favorite zin⊠hate i missed it.
