Tasting Notes
The grapes for our Parcel 31 Zinfandel were chosen from
3 different appellations to showcase the varying complexity
and flavor characteristics unique to each area. All of the fruit
was sourced from old vines, which we believe adds a depth of
complexity not found in younger vineyards.
All vineyard lots were kept separated and each was fermented
and aged separately. Cooperage was varied based upon vineyard
site and appellation. Two months prior to bottling the wines
were re-evaluated and blended.
The 2007 Parcel 31 Zinfandel is the quintessential Zinfandel.
It offers an explosive bouquet of blackberries, currants, crushed
rocks and is backed up by enormous body, great purity and
tremendous concentration. Layer upon layer of blackberry and
raspberry coat the palate. This wine is drinking fabulously now
and will only improve with age.
