Zinfandel

Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: The 2003 Mietz Zinfandel is estate grown at our home vineyard on West Dry Creek Road, in Healdsburg. The 18 year old vines are planted on a south facing hillside and they are dry farmed. The grapes were picked at moderate sugar levels compared to other zinfandels on the market. This crop was picked at 23.0 brix which then soaked up to 24.5 brix, in the tank with a pH of 3.40. This process yielded a wine that is balanced and not excessive in ripeness and showcases typical berry fruit of a classic Dry Creek zin.
