Wine Details
Price:
$28.00 per bottle
Description:
Dove Pond Vineyard sits at the intersection of Highway 46 West and north Vineyard Drive, in the windy Templeton Gap of west Paso Robles. Dove Pond is a family-owned vineyard with low production and attention to quality and detail. Owner Rich Eastin, a professor of economics at USC, regales his students with stories of viticultural misfortune, but in fact his fruit is high quality, and the 2002 Dove Pond syrah was a Dover Canyon wine club selection.
These grapes were cold soaked to 32% sugar, then cold fermented with a Rhone-isolate yeast to emphasize aromas of cassis and violets, and aged for sixteen months in both French and American oak., for balanced nuances of spice and vanillin.
Aromas of spice and cherry liqueur lead into classic zinfandel flavors of raspberry and wild berry, with strong elements of pepper, nutmeg and toasty oak.
