winemaker's notes:

A dry, short winter brought early bud break, and bloom by late March; our Sonoma vineyards ripened by September. Each parcel fermented on its natural yeasts. Color and tannin extracted easily, and we pressed, on average, after seven days. The style and character of the Three Valleys are determined by the lots we choose for their fruit, color, and/or structure. When malolactic finished, we assembled these lots from the ten individual vineyards that make up the 2007. In barrel, the wine clarified naturally, and tannins resolved in time for an August bottling. Rich fruit and exotic spice give immediate appeal. This excellent wine will be at its best over the next five to six years.

critical acclaim:

"An absolutely beautiful Zin, and a must-have for restaurant wine lists. It’s pure and complex in blackberries, cherries, cola and mocha, with wonderful spices erupting all the way though, and the most elegant silky texture. What a great job. "

92 Points

Wine Enthusiast

"When measured against its far riper cousins, this very well-balanced wine may seem a bit light on muscle, but what is really missing is fat, and, instead, it turns out to be both deep and quite long on bona fide fruity substance. Its careful composition and keen, claret-like structure mark it indelibly as an eminently food-worthy Zin for now and the next few years."

  Wonderful wine - 1/31/2010
I would buy this wine again
Very complex, some tanin, can taste the Zinfandel in it. I bought 3 cases and am going to get more. I would serve this one to very special guests.

  Loved this one - 1/3/2010
I would buy this wine again
This was special enough for a celebration occasion. We totally enjoyed the complex aroma, rich fruit flavor and whole package. I'd buy it again if I could find it. Excellent.

  Almost like a Bordeaux - 12/10/2009
I would buy this wine again
When I first poured a glass of this, I did a double-take after sipping... Did someone mislabel a Bordeaux? I love this wine. Can't find it in Alaska, which is why I buy it from wine.com.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
