Beeson Ranch Zinfandel

2008 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

The Dry Creek Vineyard Vintner's Select Club Beeson Ranch Zinfandel from the 2008 vintage is a stunning example of the vibrant character that Dry Creek Valley Zinfandels can showcase. In the glass, this red wine reveals deep ruby hues that hint at its richness. It boasts a full body with lively acidity that brings brightness and mouthwatering freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of ripe blackberry and cherry, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and vanilla from careful oak aging. The tannins are notable yet finely integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. This wine is beautifully dry, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or simply to enjoy on its own.

Region:


Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
