14%Vineyards:
A blend of fruit from some of the best vineyard sites throughout California is used in the production of this wine. The vast majority of the Zinfandel grapes come from the Paso Robles region in central California, whereas the Petite Sirah is grown in Clarksburg — located just south of Sacramento — while the balance of the fruit is cultivated in Napa Valley.
Technical Data:
- pH: 3.68
- Acidity: 5.9 grams/liter
Winemaking:
Since each varietal and location ripened at different times, the grapes were harvested whenever they achieved maturity. The wine aged in 2nd-use French oak barriques for 9 months before being bottled.
Tasting Notes:
The aromas are classic of an old vine Zinfandel: spicy and jammy. Notes of black pepper, raspberry, and boysenberry lead to hints of cinnamon, sandalwood, and clove to create the bouquet. On the palate, the wine carries over the spicy notes, as well as black cherry and cassis flavors. The oak-aging gives it a supple and velvety texture. Fruit-forward with balanced acidity and alcohol.
Food Pairings:
Pairs well with an array of dishes, from vegetable lasagna to hearty beef stews. Also excellent with roasted and grilled
meats.
