2007 Zinfandel, Napa Valley
Winemaking From low yields of less than 3 tons per acre, this old vine zinfandel was hand picked, sorted meticulously, cold soaked for 3 days before being fermented for 10 days. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine was racked 3 times before being bottled in June of 2009. Tasting Notes Reminiscent of our 1999 Zinfandel, this well-focused Zinfandel is intense, vibrant but ripe all at the same time. That is exactly what we love about Napa Valley Zinfandels. It will never turn pruny as it’s raspberry, pomegranate, red licorice, cinnamon flavors lead to a clean finish that emphasizes fruit, not oak. We think it’s a no-brainer, as recent visitors who came to taste our Pinots and Cabernets have discovered. Try it with dry-rubbed grilled meats, red sauced Italian dishes and late fall/winter stews. It’s a fun wine, just waiting to be opened tonight.
