RATINGS

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

...gorgeously pure blackberry and black cherry fruit, incense and floral notes. The wine is full-bodied, unctuously textured, opulent, and a stunning example of how compelling Zinfandel can be from old vines and special terroirs.

92Wine Spectator

Aromas of wild berry, spice cake and licorice combine with deep flavors of smoky plum, cracked black pepper and dried sage.

91-94Vinous / IWC

Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and violets meld together in a supple, intense Zinfandel endowed with striking volume. Savory notes wrap around the plush, deep finish.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley

Sonoma Valley AVA is Sonoma County’s original winegrowing district. Designated as an AVA in 1981, it includes 14,000 vineyard acres in a long, narrow valley that runs north-south. Rather romantically, the valley is also called The Valley of the Moon. The oldest winery in the AVA, and one of the oldest in California, is Buena Vista Winery, founded in 1857 by a Hungarian count who planted vineyards in Wisconsin before moving to California. Today there are nearly 60 wineries in the AVA producing a variety of wines, from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon and Gewurztraminer. The appellation is bordered by mountain ranges on the east and west, which partly account for Sonoma Valley’s unique terroir. The mountains protect it from the cooling weather of the Pacific Ocean and fruit ripens well.

TYPE

Red Wine, Zinfandel

Zinfandel is a black-skinned grape, but 85% of the wine produced is made into a rosy “White Zinfandel.” Red Zin is far more complex and bold, while still being light-bodied. It grows in popularity as winemakers continue to experiment with new styles and blends.
