Petite Zin

2008 Sonoma County Zinfandel

The 2008 Dry Creek Vineyard Petite Zin is a remarkable expression of Zinfandel hailing from the esteemed Sonoma County region. This vibrant red wine offers a full-bodied experience with a bold profile that captivates the senses. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing an exhilarating lift that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of ripe blackberries and raspberries, complemented by a hint of spiciness that is characteristic of the varietal. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, lending structure and depth to the wine without overwhelming its fruit-forward character. The wine is crafted to be dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own. With its harmonious balance and expressive flavor profile, this Petite Zin is a true delight for Zinfandel lovers.

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.
