The wide range of aromas and flavors in our 2007 Zinfandel can again be
attributed to its “field blend” origin. Grown and sometimes co-fermented
together the three varietals of this wine—Zinfandel, Petite sirah and
Carignane—each play critical roles in defining the wine’s character. The Zin
tastes of wild berries and briary fruit marked with a touch of spice, while
the ‘Pets’ adds dark color and a weighty mid-palate leaving the Carignane
to account for the bright acidity and slight earthiness. Dry farmed and
organically grown, the wine never feels over-blown yet it is full of juicy
flavors of cherry and boysenberry underlined with layers of earth and spice.
Plus, with an alcohol under 14%, it makes a wonderful companio
...more... n to your
next backyard barbeque.
