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

This is the third Zinfandel we've made from the Bacigalupi Vineyard, and, as usual we are very happy with it. This wine starts with rich aromas of plum, coffee, and chocolate, with an underlying hint of baking spice. The mouth is elegant and balanced, with plenty of ripe plum, blackberry, cocoa and vanilla-oak flavors. Enjoy. 780 cases
