Gallo of Sonoma Barrelli Creek Zinfandel 2000

Our family's Barrelli Creek Vineyard is located in the temperate, Region III hillsides of Sonoma Countys Alexander Valley; on a site first planted by Italian immigrants over a century ago. The low vigor of this vineyard's gravelly clay loam soils, in combination with its micro-climate and optimal viticultural practices, yield intensely concentrated Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes loaded with the zesty aromas and flavors of black cherries, boysenberry jam, and black pepper.

With three generations and over six decades of experience in northern Sonoma, our family believes that the "secret" to producing world class wines is to start with world class grapes. We meticulously shoot positioned, cluster thinned, and hand harvested grapes for this wine from only the finest blocks at Barrelli Creek Vineyard.
