Winemaker Notes
The Fumé Blanc features aromas of fresh lemongrass and melon, supported by flavors of pink grapefruit and melon. The grapes for this partially barrel fermented, creamy textured, classic come from two of the finest Sauvignon Blanc growing regions. Primarily Dry Creek and a little Alexander Valley to compliment the styles.
Ken and Diane Wilson first made a name for themselves specializing in Dry Creek Valley Zinfandels. Thus the purchase of Pezzi King Vineyards was an ideal match for the Wilson family's philosophy of producing small quantities of high-end, handcrafted wines. The Wilsons, who are the owners of two other highly regarded Zinfandel-producing small wineries, Wilson Winery and Mazzocco Sonoma, are thrilled to have this 137 acre farm set in the hills above Dry Creek Valley. At the heart of this beautiful property are the vineyards, 65 acres of world-class Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon - which allow the Wilsons to continue their commitment to producing only the finest wines possible while investing in the personal relationships with their clientele through priviate wine club participation.
Ken Wilson commented that, ""I've always admired Jim Row and the Pezzi King wines, especially the estate Zinfandels. Pezzi King changed the way we looked at Zinfandel and turned the local winemaking world upside down with its 1995 Zin. Its rich, jammy, and fruit-forward style became the new standard of excellence in Zins.""
No where in America are conditions better suited to producing world-class Zinfandels than Pezzi King's home: Dry Creek Valley."
