2006 Private Reserve Zinfandel Santa Clara Valley
Produced from Estate Grown Zinfandel from our Santa Clara Valley vineyards. These vineyards - first planted by our grandfather over 70 years ago - continue to produce an extremely deep-fruited Zinfandel. After fermentation and initial racking the wine went straight to small 60-gallon French & American oak barrels for approximately fifteen months before bottling. This 2006 vintage yielded 789 cases.
WINEMAKERS NOTES:
In the glass this wine shows an enticing assemblage of ripe fruit and spice aromas. Strawberries and black cherries flirt with clove and anise - all within a subtle framework of oak. The black cherry fruit and baking spices are well represented on the palate—evolving from clove to nutmeg to vanilla and oak. Displaying an exceptional balance of fruit, spice, oak, and tannin, this wine is excellent with lamb, steak, spicy pasta dishes, well aged cheeses—and with the summer grilling season upon us it is perfect for accompaniment for barbequed meats.
