What to Expect

Zinfandel is considered America's own great indigenous grape, even though its origins lie on the Adriatic coast. Planted throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, Zinfandel is at its best in warm regions with cooler temperatures during harvest. The wines can range from off-dry Rosés, White Zinfandels, and light bistro styled wines, to big, rich powerful wines - even luscious wines for dessert bottling. The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.

Winemakers Notes

For sale by case. Our Castle Rock Zinfandel is produced from grapes grown in Dry Creek Valley, one of the finest Zinfandel growing regions in California. Here, the warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings make an ideal climate for this varietal. This supple Zinfandel boasts an invitingly rich ruby hue and bursts with red fruit aromas. The concentrated core of blackberry and ripe cherry flavors is round and lush with a hint of pepper and light vanilla oak. All of these complex flavors unfold into a long and beautifully balanced finish. The wine makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat, read more...pasta dishes and an assortment of cheeses.    (hide)
