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

Remember picking strawberries on a hot summer day? This wine might take you back there if you let it. The aromas are unmistakably vivid and you'll smile in anticipation of the flavor. Rich and syrupy, the strawberry jam palate is accented with caramel and vanilla oak highlights and supported by round tannins. Open a bottle and start a conversation while finding flavor descriptions of your own as the wine comes to life in the glass.

Moderate to heavy oak with decent typical zin fruits, but nothing particularly interesting in this wine. Decent acid, very full bodied, but the fruits had thankfully tamed down from the strawberry syrup the winemaker describes. Lacks any of the briar or interesting spice I look for in zins.
