This wine is a sensory delight with its enticing characteristics. On the nose, it exudes a delightful combination of brightness and earthiness, offering captivating notes of cherry cola and blackberry pie. Upon entry, the wine impresses with its remarkable intensity and structural depth, unveiling a silky, dense fruitiness on the palate. Notes of nutmeg, baking spice and cacao, lead to a rich and lingering finish enhanced by a subtle dusting of spice.
Pairs with duck breast with cherry balsamic reduction or savor it alongside aged gouda or pasta dishes featuring a meaty tomato ragù for a splendid culinary experience.
Planted in 1926, these vineyard blocks are some of the oldest in the Dry Creek Valley and farmed by fourth generation Saini family members. The Seghesio and Saini families have a long and rich history of working together over four generations. Our Saini Farms Zinfandel is sourced mainly from old vine blocks planted on the Dry Creek bench, which is composed of gravelly clay loam with a striking red color and exceptional drainage that stresses the vines, encouraging concentration and structure in the resulting wine.
