Zinfandel First Crush

2005 Nevada Zinfandel

The Pahrump Valley Winery Zinfandel First Crush is a captivating red wine from the unique wine-growing region of Nevada. This vintage showcases the bold and vibrant character typical of Zinfandel, with a medium body that perfectly balances its lively fruit flavors. The acidity is bright, enhancing the wine's refreshing quality while supporting its abundant notes of ripe blackberries and cherries. Tannins are present but soft, providing a smooth mouthfeel that invites repeat sips. This Zinfandel is dry, allowing the grape's natural fruit intensity to shine through without any cloying sweetness, making it an excellent choice for enjoying alongside a hearty meal or simply on its own.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
