Winemakers Notes: Sourced from Hales Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, this lighter-bodied zin pleases the nose with aromas of back pepper, cinnamon, cloves, red cherry/berry, slight tobacco, guaiacol, cedar box, and anise. Like our award winning 2005 vintage, this is a well-balanced fruity zin. The alcohol is in check, not dominating and the acidity keeps this wine lively and fruit forward.
Released on May 25, 2008, this zin is a delicious summertime complement to barbecue beef or a leg of lamb with a berry sauce as well as a nice prosciutto or swordfish. For mid-week enjoyment, pair it with your favorite pizzas and pastas. On the bocce court, friends will love it with sharp cheeses such as teleme or aged gouda. Enjoy with friends now or cellar through 2013.

Production Notes: The Chardonnay Grapes were picked on Sept. 28 at 3:00 am — early so the grapes are cold while they are being destemmed and pressed. After the grapes were pressed the juice was allowed to settle for 24 hours in a stailess steel tank. The juice was then put into french oak barrels (25% new oak, 75% nutral) and primary fermentation was started, lasting 23 days. The weather was cold and it took longer than expected. The wine went through about 90% malic fermentation. The lees were left in the barrel and was stirred once a month, for 9 months. The wine then was put into a stainless steel tank for cold stabilazation. Bottled on July 27th 2007, released Sept 1, 2008.
