Broc Cellars, Vine Starr Zinfandel, 2023
Broc Cellars’ Vine Starr Zinfandel flips the usual Zin script. Instead of jammy and boozy, this wine is lifted, fresh, and savory, with the kind of structure and restraint you might expect from a Loire Cab Franc or Cru Beaujolais—not your typical California Zin.
Named as a playful nod to Ken Starr and the “Wine Spectator” era of over-the-top Zinfandels, Vine Starr is made with early-harvested fruit, low extraction, native yeasts, and minimal sulfur. The 2023 vintage continues the style: 100% Zinfandel sourced from dry-farmed vineyards in Sonoma.
It’s fermented in open-top vats, aged in neutral barrels, and bottled with a light touch. The result is crunchy red fruit, baking spice, a little earth, and just enough tannin to keep it grounded. It drinks cool, lively, and food-friendly—a Zinfandel that feels more European in vibe than Californian blockbuster.
