Dry Creek Vineyard Heritage Vines Zinfandel 2022

__

To preserve the tradition and “heritage” of old Zinfandel vineyards, cuttings from a pre-Prohibition era vineyard were grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstock. Then, for several years the winery worked diligently to screen and propagate virus-free vines that would ultimately produce a crop.

The 2022 Heritage Vines Zinfandel captivates with aromas of black cherry, plum and ripe blueberry, layered with hints of pepper, baking spices and cocoa powder. The palate unfolds with vibrant cranberry and blackberry pie, revealing complexity through bright acidity and deeper undertones of espresso, fine leather and cedar. From the first sip to the lingering finish, this exceptional wine delivers refreshing energy and impeccable structure.
