Winemaker's Notes:
Our 2007 California Zinfandel balances rich and graceful flavors characteristic of each region farmed.
Dry-farmed,
old-head-trained vines in Lodi and Amador produce intense, structured
fruit while the Napa Valley harvest adds power, depth and complexity.
Fruit from the cooler climate of Sonoma County offers classic Zinfandel
aromatics of pepper and anise. Together, these diverse regions produce
a Zinfandel packed with flavors of licorice, plums, Bing cherries and
blackberries with a deep, long finish.
Joel
became fascinated with Zinfandel in 1996 and we all find Zinfandel as
irresistible today as he did then. Spicy, juicy, brash and elegant
Zinfandel continues to be as enjoyable and interesting to make as it is
to drink.
