2004 Reserve Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma
Sommers Ranch,Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma

A great Zin made for those of you who crave a Zin which has great fruit, is not overly peppery but still retains a background of spice. Dry in style, it also won't overwhelm you wi ...moreth too much old fruit flavors or alcohol. A classic Zin that pairs well with many foods, or just fine all by itself!

2004 Zinfandel
Mendocino County

A blend of both new and old Mendocino County Zinfandel vines. By moving the wine periodically from one barrel to another, we weave in nuances of French, California and Yugoslavi ...morean oak adding a subtle dimension. Medium-bodied with moderate alcohol, it's still food-friendly and fits the bill for that meal where only Zin will do. Drink within the next three years to enjoy the maximum fruitiness and balance.

Although this varietal is similar to a zinfandel in its "DNA," it has its own personality and flavor. This is a robust wine with flavors of strawberries and raspberries. Delicious!

2005 Zinfandel
Chauvet Vineyards

Bob and Blyth Carver have owned Chauvet vineyards since the early 1970's. They named their vineyards after John Chauvet the founder of the town of Glen Ellen. This Zinfandel is rem ...moreiniscent of the Zinfandels produced in the late 1970's: very dark color, aromas of blackberries, a sweet middle and a dry acid finish. A very BRIGHT wine that is pleasing to the palate.

Try it with a piece of blue cheese and loaf of sour dough bread after a long, hard day. Other matches could be hearty stews and bittersweet desserts.

2004 Zinfandel
Meeks Hilltop Ranch, Sonoma Valley

We are so pleased with the intensity and the classic Zinfandel character from this young vineyard that we decided to produce a vineyard designated wine starting with the 2003 vinta ...morege. We carefully selected 8 out of 22 barrels for this blend, representing three of the four vineyard blocks. This wine epitomizes our stylistic goal of a combination of intensity and seamless balance. Concentrated blackberry and raspberry fruit aromas with hints of black pepper lead into a rich, dense, but never clumsy, mouthful of good olâ€™ Zin.

2005 Chameleon Zinfandel Napa Valley
Napa Valley

This Zinfandel from the Morgan Ranch in Gordon Valley features a wealth of rich black and red fruit aromas in the nose and on the palate. The flavors of blackberry and raspberry a ...morere draped in velvety tannins, while excellent acidity supports the voluptuous mouthfeel. The fully-ripened but not overripe expression of the fruit means that matching this delicious wine with a wide variety of food possibilities is a fairly simple exercise, not an exercise in futility as it might be with a more over-the-top rendition. As such, it is a natural with many grilled meats or fowl as well as dishes with a more piquant twist.
Its depth of flavor, alcohol, acidity and fine tannic structure will allow for a good 4 to 7 years of cellaring at least, though it will be hard to resist for near term consumption.

This classic Zinfandel produced from our signature Monte Sereno vineyard displays the best qualities any Zinfandel could hope to achieve.

Piffero always delivers intensely perfumed black cherry fruit. The bright aromas and dark exotic fruit flavors combine with a vanilla bean character from the new French oak, adding ...more sweetness to the fruit. Structure and framework is what the 2004 vintage is all about. One of the earliest harvests on record, this vintage has meaty structure and weight, complexity, and smooth chalky tannins. Yummy!

Sonoma County

Our Zinfandel is a blend from two legendary regions of Sonoma County: approximately two thirds of the grapes were taken from the Dry Creek Valley and one third from the Monte Rosso ...more Vineyard, owned at the time by Louis Martini. Petite Syrah is the final component.

Blackberry, wild berry, raspberry and ollaliberry fruit flavors are complimented by a hint of pomegranate. The core is tightly wound, supported by a firm tannic structure. Spice flavors are sage, nutmeg, anise, mocha, cedar and toasty oak. This Zinfandel is classic in style, Rhonesque, balanced and understated.
