Forgotten Vines Zinfandel 2008

This product is not currently available.

Zinfandel dates back to the mid 19th century in California and at one point it was the most widespread varietal in the state. Over time it became less popular and today only makes up 10% of plantings. These old vines may have been forgotten by many in the last few decades, but DeLoach continues to honor this varietal by blending grapes from several exemplary vineyards in the region.

Varietals: 100% Zinfandel
Nose: Aromas of dark cherry and exotic spices
Palate: Notes of orange rind, black currant, cranberry, and spice
Alcohol: 15%
Appellation: Sonoma County, CA

A wine of this weight with this tannin structure holds up nicely to Asian spices. We recommend pairing it with a chili crisp sauce.
