Swirlingnotions - facing west on Dry Creek Road -- you nailed it! Very impressive as usual with these photos. Yes, it's a gnarly old zinfandel vine in a photo I took during the third week of February. Wow, Richard, great deductive logic! Swirlingnotions - facing west on Dry Creek Road — you nailed it!

Very impressive as usual with these photos.

Yes, it’s a gnarly old zinfandel vine in a photo I took during the third week of February.

The soil type, however, looks wrong for the Southern Rhone. So I'll have to say Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley, Geyserville district. The vines do indeed look to be either Zinfandel or Grenache.

Is that Geyser Peak in the distance? Given the goopy gray---exactly what I see outside now and did all day yesterday--it definitely looks like it's somewhere nearby.

It looks an awful lot like the Napa Valley but i think that would be too obvious or not specific enough. Perhaps the northern end, Geyserville maybe. But, I think I will plump for Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. That looks like ancient traditional Zinfandel vines with no trellis.
