Teldeschi Vineyard, with some of the oldest vines planted from 1913 to 1919, located in heart of Dry Creek Valley AVA in Sonoma County. Deep Ruby with subtle aromas of black fruits, citrus and spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blueberry with citrus, black pepper and cacao notes. Lively acidity, tannins with a rustic edge, long finish, full-bodied wine ending with fruit and herb spice character. Should develop nicely over next 5+ years. Nice! Tasting Sample!

A nice example of Zin: fruit, earth, and pepper, all subtle but very present. Easy to drink and certainly enjoyable.

Herbaceous, Aromatic, Complex. Just an amazing example of Zinfandel, by a Napa Vintner nonetheless. Not a surprise that the grapes originate from Dry Creek Valley, however. 😉
