2005 Napa Zinfandel
Napa Valley

With its gentle tannins and forward fruit, our Zinfandel is versatile at the table and can take you from bruschetta appetizers all the way through a hearty main course. It's delici ...moreous with grilled sausages, steaks and swordfish. It's a perfect match for tomato-based sauces such as pasta dishes, pizza margherita or chicken cacciatore. The tasting room staff has declared Zin the definitive burger wine, an easy-going partner for the grilled meat and your favorite condiments. Geoff loves to make a snack of our recipe for Chicken Cranberry Spread on a piece of toasted home-made bread along with a glass of Zin. The sweet fruit and toasted nuts work beautifully with the lush strawberry and plum in the wine. Cheers!

2003 Late Harvest Zinfandel Estate
Paso Robles

This yummy treat has a dark garnet red color almost seeming black. The nose is an interesting array of black fruit, peach cobbler, minerals and spice. The mouthfeel is full with fl ...moreavors of sweet black cherry, cinnamon, currants, ginger spice and intermingling minerals. The finish is long and tempts you to take another sip. This is a mouth filling dessert wine that will pair extremely well with a wide variety of desserts. Chocolate is a natural pairing but it also goes well with any fruit based dessert. The fruit is 100% Zinfandel grown on the Midnight Estate Vineyard and was harvested at 29.5Â° brix.

2003 Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

We refer to this particular vintage as our â€œmiracleâ€ wine. Late season rains with its threat of mildew kept David busy monitoring the fruit for an optimal harvest. On September ...more 28 the sugars began to spike due to an enormous heat wave. We have no employees, and everyone in the valley scrambled at once to get their fruit picked. We succeeded in finding pickers, but were unable to find any help for David. The temperature on the pad was a scorching 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Sixteen tons of fruit sat lined up in half ton picking bins waiting to be manually pitched into the crushed/destemer. David picked up his pitchfork, and began. Sixteen grueling hours later he finished. The back label is my tribute to the passion and determination of this incredible winemaker. The wine speaks for itself. Savor it!

2004 Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

This vintage is unique in that it is the ONLY time David has had to deal with a â€œstuckâ€ fermentation. This resulted in an additional three weeks of work to restart the process. ...more Virginia teases him about his hair turning from gray to white during that time! Davidâ€™s stubbornness and â€œsticking to itâ€ paid off in spades. The alcohol was held at a respectable 14.6% with a Ph of 3.61. Blended with 2% Petite Syrah and 8% Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon it exhibits Zinfandel at itâ€™s best. Intensely rich, loaded with deep layers of black berry fruit. We find it Fantastic with food.

2005 Belle Canyon Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

Once again the 2005 Belle Canyon zinfandel delivers a winner with its intense red fruit flavors. On the nose, the wine is reminiscent of fresh strawberries. The flavors of cherry l ...moreiqueur, red raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and cola are complemented with hints of mocha and vanilla. The wine exhibits soft tannins and culminates in a long and silky finish. This wine will age gracefully for 6 to 8 years and will be well worth the wait.

2005 Zinfandel
Macauley Vineyard Napa Valley

The 2005 Macauley Zinfandel exhibits a captivating purple hue. This wine begins with beautiful front notes of cherry vanilla and clove. Deeper in the nose is a presence of black be ...morerry, briar spice and edges of black pepper. It's as rich and hedonistic as a Hayne or Monte Rosso Vineyard. The mouth feel, while young, is showing great promise with full, coating tannin and a fine acidic structure. Enjoy for 5 to 7 years with proper cellaring. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined, as always.
