Limerick Lane
Limerick Lane produces Zinfandel from Russian River Valley, a region in Sonoma County known for its cool maritime influence and ability to ripen this varietal with both power and finesse. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions: the Banfield Vineyard Zinfandel, Marquis Zinfandel, and Maffei Vineyard Zinfandel each capture distinct terroir signatures within the appellation. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. Russian River Valley's diurnal temperature swings—warm days, cool nights—allow Zinfandel to develop ripe fruit character while maintaining the acidity and structure the variety can achieve at its best. Limerick Lane's focus on single-vineyard bottlings reflects a commitment to expressing the specificity of place through this classic California grape.
