2006 Oklahoma Zinfandel

The Chapel Creek Winery Oklahoma Zinfandel from the 2006 vintage presents a vibrant red hue that draws you in with its inviting appearance. This medium-bodied wine showcases a delightful balance of acidity, imparting a lively brightness that enhances its character. On the palate, expect an abundance of fruit intensity, with ripe blackberry and cherry notes taking center stage, accented by hints of spice and pepper. The tannins are notably structured yet approachable, adding a pleasant firmness to the wine without overwhelming the fruit. As a celebrating of Oklahoma's unique terroir, this Zinfandel is dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pasta.

Oklahoma

Oklahoma, with its sweeping plains and undulating hills, is an evolving winegrowing region characterized by a distinctive blend of terroirs across its American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). Influenced by the state's broad climatic variations, which include hot summers and cold winters, Oklahoma's vineyards benefit from a dynamic growing season that challenges the grapes to develop robust flavors and balanced acidity. The state's unique conditions include occasional influences from the Gulf of Mexico, which can introduce cooler air and moisture, moderating the intense heat and aiding in the gradual ripening of grapes. This environment allows for the cultivation of both cooler-climate varieties, which thrive in vineyards benefiting from these moderating effects, and bolder, heartier varieties suited to the warmer, more sheltered inland areas.
