Dry Creek Zinfandel

Dry Creek Zinfandel Wine Details
Price:

Description: In 2001 the grapes ripened by maturity which resulted in seeds that were brown, hard and crunchy that produced a wine with less green tannin in it and good structure. The grapes were fermented in an open fermenter with a punch down regimen. The wine was aged in a combination of American and French Oak barrels with 40% new oak barrels. We have used this combination to allow the varietal characteristics to come through without having an overpowering oak flavor. The wine is 100% Dry Creek Zinfandel.
