2017 Estate Zinfandel, Hawley Vineyard*LIBRARY HOLD*

DOUBLE GOLD - American Fine Wine Competition
GOLD - SF Chronicle Wine Competition
90 Points - CA Grapevine Review

This wine is a blend of 94% Zinfandel and 6% Petite Sirah grown organically on our steep hillside vineyard. Our vines produce tiny berries with concentrated flavors, structure and acidity.

Tasting Notes

Dark raspberry, ripe blackberry, pepper, structured tannin.

"Medium to medium-dark ruby; deep, ripe, fragrant, raspberry and blackberry fruit aroma; full body; deep, tight, briary, peppery, dark berry fruit flavors with a rich mouthfeel, though currently a bit rough on the finish; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Will benefit from several more years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended." - CA Grapevine Review, September 2019 Issue

Winemaker Notes

Aged 18 months on American and French oak. Planted as a field blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, but picked separately in order to control the blend.
