$35.00 per bottle
Description:
Located east of the small Russian River Valley town of Occidental, the Morelli Lane Vineyard is truly remarkable. This more than 100-year old dry-farmed and head trained 1.5-acre vineyard is all that's left of what was once a much larger vineyard. Our 2002 vintage is a blockbuster of a wine. The vintage yielded a wine of great intensity and length, but demonstrates elegance and silkiness rare to Zinfandel. It explodes with blackberry fruit intermingled with red raspberry notes and underlying vanilla tones and spice. The crystalline berry fruit is well balanced with lush tannins and spice tones of ginger and nutmeg. It finishes with a burst of berry fruits and subtle spice. This is a Zin that's wonderfully easy to drink and, with its moderate alcohol, is perfect with many foods, from a steak off the barbecue, to gnocchi with meat sauce, beef stew, eggplant parmesan and sharp cheddar cheese. 212 cases produced.
