Wine Details
Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
The Vassar vineyard is 30 years old and these grapes are from a non-irrigated, head-trained section. The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented in small fermentors, using natural as well as commercial yeasts. It was aged in American and French oak and bottled in August 2002. The bouquet has bright fruit with nuances of vanilla and oak. As usual the Vassar Zin has beautiful cherry and cranberry flavors, a smooth entry and a lingering finish. There is more power and depth to this vintage due to slightly riper fruit (one distributor described it as "a bear in a bottle"). This has been one of our favorite vineyards since we first discovered it in 1995. The firm tannins and depth of fruit will allow this wine to continue to improve over the next few years.
