Winemakers Notes
A full and rich Zinfandel with distinctive flavors of cassis, blackberry, plum, and black peppercorn and a background note of spicy oak. A great zin for serving with barbecued meats, such as ribs or salmon, or vegetables, such as portobello mushrooms or grilled eggplant. Will drink best 2008 through 2010, or decant for immediate drinking.
Grapes are organically grown on 40-year-old vines on 8x14 spacing with bi-lateral cordons. Cover crops and leaf pulling are practiced to promote optimal vineyards conditions. Ladybugs, not chemicals, are used to combat pests.
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.
