Fetzer Zinfandel Mendocino County Home Vineyard Fetzer Vineyards 1980
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
At KL's rooftop party this was popped and poured. Somewhat ungiving aromatically with arth, redwood, and faint notes of fruit but in the mouth there was fresh structure with good balance, supportive acidity and some round tannins buffered by cedary fruit that was a bit anonymous but complex anough and rich enough to be interesting and worth drinking. Pretty remarkable bottle of young vine zin!
Add winemaker's notesFetzer Vineyards was founded in 1968 in beautiful Mendocino County by Barney and Kathleen Fetzer. One of the first California wineries to branch out into serious Chardonnay production, Fetzer remains committed to sustainability and environmentally conscious wine production. Dennis Martin oversees all wine-making at Fetzer and is assisted by Charlie Gilmore and Michael Chupp, who are in charge of white wine making and red wine making respectively.
