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

The 2005 Korte Ranch Zinfandel is deep ruby/purple colored with aromas of wild red berries, roasted nuts and crme de cassis. On the palate, a long lasting finish follows flavors of fresh berry pie, plums and blackberry jam with just a touch of white pepper. This rich ripe Zinfandel is weighty on the palate, yet surprisingly keeps its balance in check.
