2021 Zinfandel, Sonoma County
This Zinfandel is a deep ruby red color with complex aromas of blackberry, raspberry and a hint of vanilla oak. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with medium tannins and a balanced acidity. Bold and ripe flavors offer notes of black cherry, raspberry jam and a hint of black pepper spice. Oak aging adds a subtle vanilla sweetness, creating a wine that is both intense and well-rounded. A long and lingering finish gives the wine a slightly warm and inviting character.
Our Sonoma County Zinfandel is a blend of the best vineyards throughout Sonoma. A combination of mature south-facing and low-yield blocks produce ripe, concentrated fruit. The wine was fermented in small, open-top fermenters. Caps are manually punched to ensure good extraction. After fermentation, must is free ran and lightly pressed, settled, and racked to barrels. Aged 18 months in 50% new and 50% 1 year old Demptos Reserve, Fouquet Marguaux, and Seguin Moreau barrels. Tight grain, 3 year air dried wood only.
