Glen Ellen Reserve White Zinfandel

2011 California Zinfandel

The Concannon Glen Ellen Reserve White Zinfandel from the 2011 vintage is an enticing example of California's winemaking prowess. This red wine presents a delightful balance that is both charming and approachable. With a medium body, it showcases a fruit-forward profile bursting with notes of ripe strawberry, cherry, and hints of watermelon, making it irresistibly refreshing. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a mouthwatering quality that enhances its overall enjoyment. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, allowing the fruit to shine without overwhelming the palate. The wine is off-dry, offering just a touch of sweetness that complements its vibrant fruitiness, making it an ideal accompaniment for casual gatherings and warm afternoons alike.

Region:


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
