VINEYARD
Fruit for this wine came from four estate vineyards: San Lorenzo, Home Ranch, Lone Oak and River Road in Alexander Valley and Cortina in Dry Creek Valley.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Zinfandel

VINIFICATION
During fermentation, the must was divided into three parts and each underwent a different kind of treatment. In 50%, the cap was regularly punched down, in 25%, the must was fermented in a rotary tank and in the remaining 25%, the must was drained off and then pumped back over the cap. This results in extraction of good colour and soft, ripe tannins. Maceration lasted ten days and was followed by maturation for 12 months in oak, of which 75% was American and 25% French.

TASTING NOTE
On the nose aromas of raspberries and blackberries with Zinfandelís
typical briary spiciness. The palate displays flavours of wild berries with layered nuances of cracked pepper and a touch of creamy oak. Balanced and elegantly structured.
