Zinfandel

Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley
Proprietor's Reserve
Estate Grown & Bottled


Our Zinfandels are classic Dry Creek and produced from 90+ year old  head pruned vines from our historic pre-prohibition  vineyard located on the elevated east benchland of  Dry Creek Valley. These magnificent non-irrigated vines are a living testament to the unique combination of this old clone with  the deep rooted St. George rootstock.  Low yields enable maximum ripeness in the fruit which produce a full bodied dry wine with intense mixed briary berry flavors, deep ruby red color,  fragrant spice and bold alcohol.  Generally co-fermented with small amounts of Carignane for a supple balanced finish without heat and aged 20 months in 35% new American oak barrels.   A great wine to pair with braised meat sauces or other fancy Italian entrees.
