WINEMAKER'S NOTE
In 2005, the California Zinfandel is sourced from vineyards in Napa, Lodi, Amador, and Sonoma. An expressive blend of classic, old zinfandel vineyards in the best grape-growing regions. Many of the vineyards are old, dry farmed, head-trained vines which produce concentrated fruit. This wine is dark ruby red color with supple, mouth-filling tannins that lend to structure, depth, and an elegant balance. Classic currant, plum and sweet oak aromas lead to juicy black fruit and spicy flavors with a long, juicy finish.
