2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley

Tasting Notes

Brilliant garnet in color with spiced fruits and ground pepper on the nose. This smooth-talking Zinfandel is an expression of the legendary Dry Creek Valley. A mouthful of violets, toffee, mocha and raspberries await you. The finish is precise and balanced. Quaff with friends or enjoy with your favorite BBQ. Drink now – 2017.

Winemaker’s Notes

It was mid-October when this Zinfandel was harvested. Only a single day was needed for cold soaking the grapes prior to barreling. In a combination of 30% French Oak, 30% Hungarian and 40% American Oak, this Zinfandel aged for 9 months in 25% New Oak. The wine was bottled with minimal filtration in early July.
