Vineyard Notes
The combination of the warm 2022 growing season and a very low yielding crop resulted in Zinfandels with incredible depth. Most of our Zins barely registered 50 percent of their average yield, creating great concentration. It was also apparent very early in the ripening stage of the grapes that the sugars could easily race away from us. This early recognition translated into tighter intervals between vineyard visits and constant communication with our growers to capture the perfect timing for harvest. As a result, we were able to maintain terrific underlying freshness and create Zinfandels with lots of layered fruit.
Winemaker Notes
This Russian River Zinfandel showcases fruit from a single historic vineyard and exudes detailed aromas of crushed black raspberry, candied blueberry, botanical potpourri, cocoa shavings and nuances of freshly dried tobacco. It’s bright and energetic on the entry, leading to a core of explosive, exotic wild berry with alluring Oolong tea leaf notes. Polished tannins provide a persistent finish. Plan to enjoy this extraordinary wine for the next 7-10 years.
