Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

This full-bodied red wine greets you with an enticing ruby hue and an aromatic profile rich in dark fruit notes, such as luscious blackberry and ripe plum, enhanced by hints of spice and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The acidity is bright, adding a refreshing lift to the palate, making it exceptionally food-friendly. Tannins are well-integrated and provide a subtle structure that complements the vibrant fruitiness, ensuring a balanced and delightful finish. This wine is predominantly dry, allowing the fruit's natural sweetness to shine through while maintaining a sophisticated and enjoyable complexity. Whether paired with grilled meats or enjoyed on its own, this Zinfandel embodies the artistry of winemaking in one of California's cherished wine regions.

Dry Creek Valley
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.
