$24.00 per bottle
Description:
There are some who believe that the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County is "where God meant Zinfandel to grow." Winemaker Julia Iantosca is one of those people. Using fruit from Dry Creek Valley heritage clones, Julia has crafted a fruit-driven zinfandel with the classic briar and berry qualities typical of zinfandels from this area. The combination of heritage clone selections and old vines provides the flavors, texture and weight that are the hallmark of Dry Creek Valley. To complete the blend, Julia adds in small amounts of Syrah, Petite Sirah and Carignane which enhance the flavor dimension and complexity.
Aromas of briary fruit and spice give way to hints of blackberry cobbler. The impression of fruit and spice continues in the mouth. Supple tannins give structure and depth to this satisfying blend. The 2003 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is a versatile wine meant for enjoying at the table. With its forward fruit, soft tannins and lingering finish it will accompany a wide range of dishes and occasions.
