OnTheEdge Frediani "1956" Vineyard Zinfandel

OnTheEdge Frediani "1956" Vineyard Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: ***GOLD MEDAL*** SF Chronicle Competition 2006*** Forward strawberry and peach aromas lead to juicy, rich flavors of strawberries and plums. The acid and tannin are balanced and firm enough (though not angular) to allow 5-8 years graceful bottle aging. Drinking nicely in its youth, I expect it will develop what I refer to as a rich "mahogany-sandlewood" character along with a silky texture typical of developed Zins from this exceptional dry-farmed, Pickett Road block. Others produce larger Zins from Frediani Vineyard, however This vintage nicely showcases my objective to produce balanced and ageable WINES FOR DRINKING rather than firey, angular giants merely for tasting. Perfect for whenever the Silverado Rest. in St. Helena has their Lamb Shank on the menu.
