Tasting Notes

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: The wine is bright and lively with concentrated “Zini” aromas. Predominant dark cherry, blueberry and plums are accented by some of the typical Zin-raisin aromas. The fine oak barrel aging brings in subtle aromas of vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon and slight toast and smokiness. The mouthfeel is solid, with medium body and very soft and elegant tannins that accentuate the wine’s long and juicy finish.

Zinfandels, when balanced, are very versatile food pairing wines with a broad range. This wine will satisfy your palate with many of your favorite dishes. The wine is delicious now, but with some patience and proper aging in 2-5 years, it will be even better

Buying guide

About Mounts Vineyard

The grapes for this wine are from Mounts Vineyard situated on the north end of Dry Creek Valley, about 300 feet above the valley. Decomposed rock and brick-red Manzanita type soils are very well suited for low pH zins with deep red color and robust, age-worthy structure.
About the Vintage

2016 Harvest began with yet another early bud break. The growing conditions were exceptional for the rest of the season—except for a week or two of a mini heat wave. Our yields from all blocks were down about 10% of average.
Winemaking

From the very start, this was a hand-made wine, using the gentlest possible touch. The fruit was hand sorted and fermented in small open-top fermenters with minimum hand punch-downs per day. As usual, the most effort was in extracting as much of the beautiful Zin aromas without any harshness in the tannins. After the malolactic fermentation completed in barrels; the wine aged in 25% new European oak barrels for about 11 months.
