Somers Ranch Zinfandel

2019 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Zinf

The Dry Creek Vineyard Somers Ranch Zinfandel from the 2019 vintage showcases the quintessential characteristics of Zinfandel while embodying the unique terroir of Dry Creek Valley. This expressive red wine presents a full-bodied profile, with pronounced acidity that enhances its vibrancy, making it an exhilarating experience for the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of spice that dance gracefully across the tongue. Its tannin structure is notable yet soft, providing a plush mouthfeel that complements the rich fruit flavors. While it's a dry wine, it possesses an inherent juiciness that keeps it refreshing and approachable, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and sophisticated meals. Enjoy it with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes to amplify its delicious complexity.

Dry Creek Valley
Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
