Wine Details
Price:
$24.00 per bottle
Description:
Early in his tenure at Santa Barbara Winery, Bruce had observed some Zinfandel bunches shriveling and drying out while staying free of rot. Mindful of the terrific forward fruit and the firm acid structure courtesy of the cool climate, Bruce made his first batch of Zinfandel Essence in the 1980's.
Because the Fall of 2001 was sunny and dry, Bruce waited until November 25th to pick the Zinfandel raisins that were then foot stomped to gently release juice and start the fermentation. After pressing, the juice was cold fermented in stainless steel to retain maximum fruit character.
