2022 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
In Stock
Winemaking Notes
Ruby red colored with fresh aromas of ripe blackberries, cherry pie, black pepper and dusty earth, this full-bodied wine was aged for 18 months in primarily French oak barrels, which added layers of toast and baking spices. Elegant and silky, this wine has refined tannins and is extremely well balanced. Enjoy this Zinfandel now with spiced short ribs, pulled pork sandwiches or a barbeque chicken pizza.
Production Notes
The 2022 vintage was dry and mild. Rain from the previous winter was light, and the new year was warm and dry with daytime highs up to 70°F in early spring. After a few light sprinkles in the late spring and early summer, the temperature climbed into the triple digits a few days in June, but the season was mild overall, with most summer days peaking around 85 - 90°F. The mix of moderately high daytime temperatures and cool evenings yielded ideal flavor concentration and mild acidity. With all things in balance, the fruit for this blend was harvested on August 25th.
