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

Seity Zinfandel is now in its 6th vintage - all from a vineyard that unquestionably epitomizes Cloud 9's drive for quality and distinctiveness. This 10-acre vineyard is home to (probably) the oldest Zinfandel vines on Earth, with proof of existence dating to 1869 (hence its name: vineyard 1869) when the vineyard was listed as a descriptor on a deed from the U.S. Geological Survey. The roots plunge to a depth of over 20 feet, passing through multiple soil strata and adding unique flavor components and complexity that can only be found in such a historic vineyard. Lying on a north-facing slope read more...in the Sierra Foothills, the vineyard flowers and ripens later than most and is typically the last vineyard to be harvested in Amador County.    (hide)
