Winemaker Notes

Our 2022 Zinfandel is classy and elegant, displaying a ravishing garnet color and showing the bright acidity and fruit of black cherry and smoky plum. Rustic yet plush, aromas of cherry, anise, and underbrush give way to focused flavors of red plum, smoky herb, and pepper. We create our Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel with restaurants in mind. It is a food friendly, old school style Zinfandel with a classic Dry Creek Valley profile where we keep our alcohol in check and focus on fresh fruit flavors, rather than dried or stewed fruits. This wine showcases Zinfandel as a world class, versatile varietal that can be enjoyed with a delicious meal or on its own.

Vineyard Notes

Our Dry Creek Zinfandel fruit comes from our estate vineyard, Mizany Vineyard, which is located across the street from the winery. Mizany Vineyard is planted to the DuPratt clone of Zinfandel, which has a spicier character with a darker fruit profile. It is a field blend comprised of Zinfandel with a 5% blend of Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, and Petite Sirah, much like the first vineyards planted in Dry Creek Valley. We take a lot of pride that Dry Creek Valley is known to grow the best Zinfandel in the world and consider this to be one of our flagship wines.
