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.
