About This Wine


Valley Oak Cooperage

Zinfandel

Valley Oak Cooperage continues to forge delicious wines that hold true to varietal character while showcasing the skilled hand of the winemaker. This classic California Zinfandel comes from the rolling hills of Sonoma County, where our local winemaking partners take advantage of this historic region’s various microclimates and diverse terroir to produce wines worthy of its reputation. Our Zinfandel exhibits the grape variety’s hallmark dark fruit flavors and modest acidity. The mindful use of oak was a welcome addition to this wine’s flavor profile and structure by adding notes of enticing spice and softening tannins. While this wine is a serious example of artisan winemaking from a quality region, it doesn’t require a fanciful meal or expensive glassware to appreciate. Serve this wine at room temperature, paired with a good book and your favorite chair. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine 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.

  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry

It is be no surprise that oak is an integral part of this wine. Toasty aromas of baking spice and clove contribute to a spicy aromatic profile. Rich flavors of ripe blackberry and wild bramble fill the palate with fruit, while soft tannins and subtle acid create a plush, velvety finish.
