2006 "Gold Mine Ranch" Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

Medium-dark ruby. Maraschino cherries, red licorice whips, and just a hint of buttery-goodness greet the nose. Mmmmmm! On the palate, quite full-bodied but with ample tannins and a ...morecidity, not at all flabby or oafish. This should age quite well. Begin drinking in mid-2009 and enjoy through 2015.

2005 Rockpile Zinfandel
Rockpile AVA

With our familyâ€™s first planting of Zinfandel in Sonoma County in 1895, we began to seek out vineyards which showcase Sonoma as the worldâ€™s premier appellation for zinfandel. ...moreRockpile, a narrow ridge some 1200 feet above Dry Creek Valley, is just one of those areas. Steep, well-drained hillsides with shallow, rocky topsoil provide for less vigorous vines, smaller berries and intensely flavored zinfandel.

2006 Primitivo
Dry Creek Valley, Lavender Hill Vineyard

The first significant yield from this young mountain vineyard, itâ€™s plush and rich and shows beautiful potential, with a medium weight on the palate and no jarring tannins. The f ...moreruit is reminiscent of wild blackberries with hints of raspberry, and the oak is subtle and tinged with smoke and vanilla. Thereâ€™s also a nuance of black pepper as you savor the long, smooth finish.

2005 Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

Our old vines are â€œdry farmedâ€, meaning they receive no irrigation, and yet, because the vineyard is located on the rich soil of the Valley floor, they are extremely prolific. ...moreTo keep flavors intense we choose to drop fruit three times during the growing season, and it paid off. The remaining fruit proved to be excellent. David is very pleased with the rich, dark raspberry scented vintage. The alcohol is a bit higher than our former wines at 15%, which adds a bit of black pepper and a tremendous mouth feel and finish. We are proudly releasing it to our wine club, urging them to drink two and lay two down, as it will age beautifully.

2004 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

2004 was all about structure in the Dry Creek region of Sonoma. The vineyards ripened evenly throughout the season and at harvest we found a small percentage of raisins on the clus ...moreters, providing the wine with tremendous fruit on the nose and palate while giving us solid acid structure not diluted by concentrated, sweet juice. After a long 18 day fermentation and 7 days of extended juice to skin contact, the wine was put into 90% neutral oak and 10% new French oak and aged for 18 months before bottling.

This wine bursts with wonderful aromas and flavors of raspberry and blackberry while the beautiful vanilla sweetness from the new French oak barrels creates a lingering, memorable finish. This is a complete wine that is sure to please.

2003 Zinfandel
Russian River Valley

Classic Von Weidlich Zinfandel aromas of blackberry syrup, red plum and white pepper dominate the fragrant nose, intermingled with scents of toasty oak and a berry potpourri. The l ...moreush entry mirrors the aromas, and leads to an expansive, tongue coating mid-palate of spiced berry and cherry. The wineâ€™s finish reverberates with pure Zinfandel character. This Zinfandel well complements roasted meats and spicy dishes, and its balance and density welcome more rustic and adventurous fare.

Maple Vineyards

This elegant and lush wine comes from the head pruned and dry farmed Maple Vineyard on the eastern bench of Dry Creek Valley. This Zinfandel has claret-like balance with beautifull ...morey pronounced fruit, well integrated tannins and bright, balanced acidity. Flooded with black cherry, currant and cranberry flavors, there are also supporting flavors of vanilla and rich toast from aging in 100% French oak barrels. Though picked separately the Zinfandel and Petite Sirah are co-fermented giving this wine a deep garnet color.

We recommend serving our 2005 Maple Zinfandel with grilled pork tenderloin, polenta lasagna or a wedge of dry jack cheese.
