Zinfandel

21493 visitors
Zinfandel is grown by over 200 producers, and now accounts for over 23% of the total vineyard territory. Its quality and character largely depend on the place of cultivation, the age of the vineyard, and the winemaking technology. Zinfandel became so popular that in 1991 the association of Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) was founded with the objective to promote the varietal and wine, and support scientific research on Zinfandel - particularly its origin.
More information on Zinfandel
Food Pairing: Pairs well with barbecue foods like chili, burgers and fried chicken -heavy on the spice and flavor. Zinfandel can hold its own out of a plastic glass on a picnic table or served in crystal with an elegant Chateaubriand.

2002 Grands Amis Zinfandel

This is an unfiltered wine giving the visual texture to be slightly opaque but adding intense and dynamic aromas. Initially, the concentrated black fruits are apparent: plum, black ...more cherry, and ripe raspberry. Upon quaffing, lighter aromas such as lemon zest, apricots, and violets become perceptible. There are hints of black pepper in the background. The flavor of the wine mimics the aroma, and is also intensely fruity, but with dried fruit flavors, cherry and apricot. The grape tannins are very soft and subtle and the oak presence is well integrated, and provides a velvety texture. Alcohol 14.8%. A zinfandel with good fruit dynamics and easy to sip on its own.

2004 Zinfandel Late Harvest "Port"
Paso Robles

We have perfected the method for making this wine. We chose ten rows from our Cobble Creek Vineyard and net the vines to protect them from birds. The grapes are then left to hang a ...morend raisin up for about one month after the primary picking. This creates grapes of unmatched intensity and sugar. The raisins soak up juice and more sugar is released as the juice ferments. We fortify the fermented juice with distilled wine spirits to stop the fermentation and maintain the proper sugar balance. This creates an intense wine, full of plum and spice. Enjoy this after dinner, by itself, or with decadent chocolate desserts.

2005 Zinfandel
Mendocino

Focused aromas of cherries, spice, roasted coffee, and oak vanillin lead way to more funky aromas of earth and minerals. The Grenache adds a perfumed, spicy fruitiness to the aroma ...mores. The Petite Sirah fills in the middle palate with meaty, darker fruit flavors.

Another vintage with a higher percentage of Zinfandel in the blend shows bright, upfront fruitiness on the palate with a long, lingering berry finish. There is greater structure and acidity than our previous vintages with the chalky tannins from Redwood Valley fruit peaking through the finish. The fruit is packed tight and juicy, adding zest to the firm structured finish. The 2005 has excellent cellaring potential and will be soft, supple and smooth in five to ten years.

Enjoyable upon release, you may also want to put some down for aging up to three years to allow the toasty oak flavors to marry into the blossomy fruit.
