Heritage Vines Zinfandel

2011 Sonoma County Zinfandel, Zinf, Petite Sirah

The Dry Creek Vineyard Heritage Vines Zinfandel showcases the rich history and vibrant character of Sonoma County, crafted from a blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. This full-bodied red wine entices with its deep ruby color and enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of spiced oak. On the palate, it delivers a balanced experience, featuring bright acidity that enlivens the fruit while supporting the complexity of flavors. The tannins are substantial yet smooth, adding structure without overwhelming the luscious fruit intensity. A touch of earthiness complements the richness, making this wine an excellent companion to smoky barbecue or hearty Italian dishes. Its dry finish leaves a lasting impression, inviting you to savor each sip of this delightful vintage.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
