D-Cubed Cellars Howell Mountain Zinfandel 1999

D-cubed Cellars started in 1994 with the Howell Mountain Zinfandel made grapes grown at the Black Sears Vineyard. In 2010 D-cubed Cellars was called a Top Artisan Winery by Wine and Spirits Magazine, a wonderful honor.

2010 was a long cool vintage. The grape ripened evenly, but was later than usual. As the season stretched out the worry of rain on the thin skinned Zinfandel became greater and greater. We harvested our Zinfandel before any real significant rain hit them and the grapes developed the wonderful fruit of the terrior from each vineyard.
