Heritage Zinfandel

2009 Sonoma County Zinfandel

The Dry Creek Vineyard Vintner's Select Club Heritage Zinfandel from the 2009 vintage is a compelling representation of the Sonoma County terroir. This red wine showcases a full-bodied character, balanced by a medium level of acidity that provides a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, bursting with rich notes of ripe blackberry and cherry, complemented by hints of black pepper and spice. Its tannins are notable yet graceful, lending structure while allowing the vibrant fruit to shine through. This Zinfandel has a dry profile, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes, grilled meats, or a cheese platter. With its complex flavors and elegant finish, this wine embodies the rich heritage of Zinfandel from Sonoma County.

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.
