Sonoma Reserve

2011 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

The Clos Du Bois Sonoma Reserve Zinfandel from the 2011 vintage showcases the lush character of the Dry Creek Valley region. This red wine presents a full-bodied experience, balanced by bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, reflecting the ripe black cherry and plum notes typical of Zinfandel, while hints of spice and vanilla add complexity. The tannins are notable yet rounded, providing structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit. With a dry finish, this wine is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a rich and satisfying experience.

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.
