Winemaker Notes
This bottle of Zinfandel was made mostly from our best block of Zinfandel, Block 303. A portion of the Zinfandel was co-fermented with a small amount of Sangiovese. This wine is exuberantly fruity with pronounced dark cherry nose, wild blackberries, pepper and a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon. On the palate the wine is showing its youth as well, with a full body and fairly tannic finish with promises for greatness in about 2 years.

The Trentadue family arrived in Sonoma County long before the region gained a reputation as the Wine Country. Life-long, hands-on agriculturists, Evelyn and Leo Trentadue contributed significantly to the advancement of their region over the years. In 1959, the Trentadues decided to flee the developers encroaching on their apricot and cherry orchards in Sunnyvale, the area known today around the world as Silicon Valley. To preserve their way of life, these hard-working Italian ranchers purchased 208 acres of land in Sonoma County's then remote Alexander Valley.
For over 55 years, they have been growing premium wine grapes, with some vines dating back to 1886. Their farming practices reflect their commitment to exceptional fruit quality and their stewardship of the land from which it comes. They strive to balance the traditions of the area’s early Italian growers and the ever-evolving viticulture industry. Sustainable agriculture is practiced, as they are stewards of their land and utilize all of the elements available to put the most they can offer into each bottle of wine while retaining the viability of their Estate for generations to come.
