Farmhouse Zinfandel

2022 Russian River Valley Zinfandel, Zinf

The Dry Creek Vineyard Farmhouse Zinfandel from the 2022 vintage is a splendid representation of the Russian River Valley. This captivating red exudes a robust body, enveloping the senses with its pronounced fruit intensity that showcases ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of blackcurrant. Its high acidity offers a bright, lively, and mouthwatering sensation that balances the rich fruit notes beautifully. The tannins are notably firm and structured, providing a solid backbone to the wine, yet they soften elegantly as the wine breathes. The overall experience is one of harmonious complexity and remarkable depth, making this Zinfandel an absolute pleasure to enjoy, whether on its own or paired with a hearty meal.

Russian River Valley

Prized for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma's Russian River Valley is one of California's premier AVAs for cool-climate wines. Blessed with the Petaluma Gap—a break in the coastal mountains where chill, foggy air blows in from the Pacific—the valley also benefits from the effects of the Russian River itself. This draws cool Pacific Ocean air inland and creates blanketing fogs that veil the vineyards throughout the chilly mornings. The result is one of the state's longest and coolest growing seasons. Bracing acidity and complex flavors characterize wines from this region, which also includes excellent sparklers made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
