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.

From winemaker Paul Draper comes a truly iconic Zinfandel. For several decades, the Lytton Springs vineyard in Sonoma County has been the source for these well-balanced, pure, and age-worthy bottlings. While rambunctious in their youth, a few years of cellaring brings out layers of flavors and an elegant quality very rarely found in California Zinfandel.

Blend: 77% Zinfandel, 17% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane This elegant, full-bodied wine, with its firm tanninsand intense, complex fruit, is among the finest of recent vintages. Enjoyable now, it will developfurther over the next ten years.

light yet intensely flavored. Tasted red fruit, sweet spices, and coffee. Zingy, since it has high alcohol.
