- TASTING NOTE: "A fresher delivery of zinfandel here with cherries, plums, subtle vanilla and fine spices. Smoothly rendered on the palate with silky tannins and a long, linear finish. Really approachable and well-balanced." 91 Points - James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards from Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek; hand harvested in small lots, resulting in over 150 different small fermentations, allowing each vineyard block to express its individual characteristics. Various maceration techniques were used to accentuate the attributes of each vineyard , including pump overs, délestage (rack and return), punching down the cap and rotary fermentation tanks. New wines fermented on the skins from 7 to 12 days before being settled to remove solids quickly and transferred to barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. Aged for 10 months in 7% new American oak, and 93% neutral French and American oak barrels. Racked once upon completion of malolactic fermentation and once to blend and bottle.
