Winery's Notes
"The grapes for our Zinfandel were grown on our Hospitality Center, Pleasant Valley and Jardine estate vineyards then handpicked and sorted in the cool morning hours. They were gently crushed and then allowed to ferment in small stainless steel tanks. Various pump-over techniques were utilized during the progressive stages of fermentation to enhance fruit extraction and enrich mouthfeel. The wine was then transferred into barrels to complete malolactic fermentation and spent 20 months aging in French and American oak barrels. A small amount of Petite Sirah was blended in for complexity and added mouthfeel.

"Roasted strawberry and charred oak make for a familiar and inviting nose on this bottling. The palate takes those flavors, tosses in ample acidity and a decent structure, and then finishes on a vanilla note." -MK, 10/1/24
