This Petite Sirah is a great example of the varietal’s potential: abundant flavors and aromas of blackberries, blueberries, plums and white pepper. On the mouth substantial tannins with a long, juicy finish deliver dark and delicious wine destined to age well. 220 cases made.
The grapes are grown on a steep hillside above the famous Dry Creek Valley. This Zin is a classic Dry Creek style: abundant jammy strawberry, blackberry and sweet dark cherry aromas surround a full-bodied red wine with fine tannins and a long, crisp and juicy finish. 220 cases made.
Finding and producing the ultimate Zinfandel has been my passion for over 20 years. This Zin comes from a famous vineyard located 1500 feet above Dry Creek Valley. The vines grow in red, mostly volcanic, soil. The terroir influenced the bright, firm acidity and concentrated the wild berry aromas. The finish is long and juicy and appetizing. 190 cases made.
