2022 Zinfandel
Sourced from our organically certified Estate vineyards, these grapes get a lot of sunshine for full ripening and flavor development. This Zinfandel has a full, yet round mid-palate with a pleasant lingering finish. Flavors of plum, blackberry, and spice with soft tannins. Enjoy this fruit-forward wine with your favorite pasta dish or grilled meat entrée.
It can often be a race to get ripeness in Zinfandel from our westside vineyards before rain or frost arrives. On top of this is the characteristic of Zinfandel to not ripen evenly. Fermentation is followed closely to assure that fruit characteristics are balanced with tannin-related astringency. We prefer a dry style of Zinfandel with no residual sugar. Aging is done in small American oak barrels but not for as long of a duration as other heavier varieties.
