Description

A blend comprised of Zinfandel from vineyards in Dry Creek and Alexander valleys.

Aggressive hand canopy management was maintained throughout the season. Yield management techniques were employed to ensure even ripening and to keep crop loads in balance.

The grapes were hand harvested and sorted as clusters and berries before being transferred to various fermentation tanks, with a breakdown of: 65% pump-over fermentation in closed top stainless steel with delestage through tub and screen; 25% small open top fermentation with hand punch-down cap management; and 10% stainless steel rotary tank fermentation. Fermented on the skins from 7 to 12 days before being transferred to barrels to complete malolactic fermentation.

Aged 9 months in 77% American oak barrels (10% new); 23% neutral French oak.
