Glen Ellen Reserve White Zinfandel

2011 California Zinfandel

This wine presents a delightful light-bodied profile, offering a refreshing and easygoing character that makes it incredibly food-friendly. With a moderate level of acidity, it provides a crisp and lively mouthfeel that balances beautifully with its mild fruit intensity, marked by notes of juicy strawberries and ripe watermelon.

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.
