The 2019 Quivira Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is on point with the grape variety in this AVA. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas, berries flavors, and a hint of jamminess. Enjoy it with BBQ baby back ribs.

Quivira Vineyards produces low-intervention style wines with certified organic grapes in Sonoma County and Dry Creek Valley. A medium ruby in the glass, this wine gives a bouquet of red and blue fruit on the nose. On the palate, the fruit is ripe and moving into a rich coulis character. Vanilla and sweet baking spices add richness. Enjoy with beef stroganoff or stewed/braised meats.

90pts Wine Spectator

Briary and zesty, with wild berry, licorice and savory cracked pepper flavors that finish with snappy tannins. Drink now through 2029.

Winemaker Notes
Aromas of mulberry, blackberry, and mocha entrance you from the start. A solid mouthfeel, the fruit reaffirms itself with blackberry, boysenberry, and raspberry preserves. Spicy notes of clove, dried sage, black pepper, and fennel appear along with Black Forest cake and that "vin sauvage" we prize. Ten months of barrel aging in a mix of French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels add to the velvety finish of fine tannins.

Remarkably humble and uncommonly layered, this Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is a delicious complement to roasted sweet potatoes with fresh rosemary and sage sprinkled on top, beef stew (crock pot cooking at its finest!), hearty grain salad with hazelnuts and dried cherries, or a selection of cheeses including blue, feta, or stilton.
