This Zinfandel is co-fermented with a touch of Petite Sirah to add complexity and structure and then aged in large oak casks so the flavors are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak. It displays pure Zinfandel flavors of strawberries, raspberries and a hint of dried sage.
Grapes for this wine are grown at Grgich Hills' vineyard in Calistoga, which is certified organic and Biodynamic. Nestled in the northern tip of Napa Valley, the vineyard’s gravelly loam provides excellent drainage and the cloudless days and cool nighttime temperatures are perfect for sun-loving Zinfandel. The vines are head pruned to protect the grapes from sunburn. All of these features combine to produce concentrated, complex flavors in the wine.
The 2020 Zinfandel boasts prominent notes of cranberry, sour cherry, plum, and orange rind, complemented by hints of forest floor, pine needles, and rosemary. The wine opens with flavors of juicy red fruit supported by spicy undertones of red pepper and black tea. The freshness of the red fruit is enhanced by a vibrant core of light acidity and full, rich tannins, all of which linger gracefully in the long finish.
