What to Expect
California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.
Winemakers Notes
Big, ripe, seductive aromas of black cherry, raspberries and red plums make up the core of fruit in this latest ZD Pinot Noir. Subtle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, earth, spice and cedar integrate beautifully with the focused fruit. On the palate, the forward black cherry fruit is framed by lush, silky tannins and an impressively long toasty finish.
