Zinfandel

21323 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.

2005 Old Vine Zinfandel
Mencarini Vineyards - Lodi

Lodi holds a namesake for wonderfully sought after Old Vine Zinfandels. These Old Vines demand a kind of respect when caring for their fruit, thus yield a juice rich, spicy and per ...morefectly structured. This relationship can serve as a metaphor for the Mencarni family, who has served many generations, passing on their vines to third generation brothers, Dino and Ron.





Our Old Vine Zinfandel surrounds the palate sound and strurdy, eveloped in spicy clove and juicy berry concentrate. Mature oak tannins frame a well balanced, sturdy wine with moderate alcohol that enhances the lengthy finish. We have created a wine to sit and think about.





Enjoy this wine with a variety of foods from fresh tomato sauces on pastas, your favorite Italian food to grilled meats and BBQ or with and array of unique and strong cheeses. We also suggest simply enjoying this wine by itself; a true expression of a classical American Wine!

2004 Sin Zin Zinfandel
Alexander Valley, California

The label of this fruity Zinfandel tells the story: a figure, clearly relaxing in the summer sun, tips back a horn, obviously enjoying a cooling drink from its contents. The Sin Zi ...moren, in fact, is a perfect summer red, with lots of rich fruit aromas including raspberry, plum, and black cherry. It's full-bodied, but has a touch higher acidity than many Zins, which keeps it refreshing and food-friendly.

2005 Zinfandel

This deep ruby-red wine offers mouth-filling ...more aromas of spice, ripe raspberry and plums. Mouth-filling flavors of red currant laced with cinnamon and plum are complemented by a hint of black pepper. French and American oak flavors round out this well-balanced wine. It is an excellent match for lamb kabobs, beef stew, or even a flourless chocolate cake.

2002 Zinfandel
Chiles Valley

Andrew Lane zinfandel comes from the Chiles Valley appellation of Napa Valley located at 900 ft. elevation. As the crow flies the vineyard lies on the volcanic backside of Stag's L ...moreeap. The vineyard enjoys warmer temperatures than Napa and is influenced by afternoon breezes that ebb and flow from the great, water body mass of Lake Berryessa to the east. These breezes extend the growing season and coupled with the young volcanic soil produce a zinfandel that is absolutely phenomenal. Truly one of the finest zinfandels we have ever tasted! High alcohol with big, blueberry and chocolate flavors to back it up we suggest drinking this to finish an evening or close to where you will sleep. WOW!!

2004 Zinfandel
Russian River Valley

Classic, cool climate Zinandel from the Russian River Valley. Jammy notes of blackberry and blueberry wrapped around subtle hints of vanilla that jump out of the glass, almost rem ...moreiniscent of blackberry cobbler or cherry pie. On the palate dark, ripe briary / brambly fruit is framed by the solid acidity that comes from the cool Russian River Valley evenings. This wine goes great with a summer Barbeque and close friends.

2004 Rockpile Zinfandel

Effusive with ripe plum and briar berry fruit our Rockpile Zinfandel showcases the broad range of spice for which this varietal is known. Cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and sandalwood ...more aromas follow from the nose through to the palate. Fifteen months in French and American oak barrels added structure and depth to complement the vibrant fruit and spice. The exotic array of aromas and flavors makes this Zin a perfect partner to kabobs, mesquite-grilled vegetables and meats or middle-eastern fusion cuisine. As is typical in our wines a subtle suggestion of the earth on which the grapes were grown lingers in the wine and delivers an inimitable sense of place.
