Old Vine

2006 Sonoma County Zinfandel

The Dry Creek Vineyard Vintner's Select Club Old Vine Zinfandel from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression of Sonoma County's rich terroir. This red wine greets the eye with a deep garnet hue that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced with a high acidity that adds vibrancy and freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of ripe dark berries and black cherry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones. Tannins are structured and firm, providing a solid backbone while maintaining an approachable elegance. This Zinfandel is bone dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of hearty dishes, particularly grilled meats or rich pasta sauces. The craftsmanship and care put into this wine highlight its potential for aging, allowing it to evolve gracefully in the bottle.

Region:


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.
