Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine exudes the purity of the ideal essence of Zinfandel fruit, with aromas of crushed summer-ripened black raspberries and huckleberries, purple plum flesh and an underlining pulse of violet petal. Wonderful and lifted flavors of blackberry cobbler, shaved cocoa and dustings of espresso grounds frame the firm and youthful tannins. The finish is long and energetic. Enjoy for the next 7-10 years.
Vineyard Notes
It was also apparent very early on in the growing season that during the ripening stage of the grapes, the sugars could easily race away from us. This early recognition translated into a regimen of tighter intervals between vineyard visits and constant communication with our growers to capture that perfect timing for harvest decision. As a result, we were able to maintain terrific underlying freshness and create Zinfandels with lots of layered fruit.
Winemaker Notes
Our Grower’s Reserve Zinfandel celebrates the most exceptional fruit from the most distinctive vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley appellation. Incredible depth and concentration define the character of the 2022 vintage of this wine, the result of a warm growing season and a low crop yield.
