Reserve

2013 Alexander Valley Zinfandel

Murphy-Goode Reserve Zinfandel from the 2013 vintage is a captivating red wine hailing from the esteemed Alexander Valley. This full-bodied wine presents an enticing profile with rich notes of blackberries and raspberries, complemented by hints of spices and earthiness that showcase the varietal's character. The acidity is balanced, providing a bright lift that enhances the fruit intensity and adds complexity to the palate. Tannins are notable yet smooth, contributing structure without overpowering the wine's luscious fruit flavors. As a dry wine, it perfectly aids in the expression of the vineyard's terroir, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

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.
