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 2006 blends the lush berry flavors of Zinfandel(51%), power and concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon(23%), with the dark black fruit of Syrah (12%), and the intensity and structure of Petit Sirah(6%), the flesh of Charbono (6%) and a hint of Grenache(2%) combining for a decadent wine with great complexity.

This wine is a staple on my table and has always been well recieved by friends who are surprised by the body and complexity of this vintage ( which I feel is an impovement over the 2005)

Had this Wine for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. My Grandfather and Dad the more Mature Wine Drinkers Really enjoyed It. Ithought it was a little bold and heavy. It definitely needed food to accompany it. This Wine get a 2.5 from me just because it was so bold (too bold for me) 14.1%Alc.
