Zoom2007 Grgich Hills Napa Valley Zinfandel
750ml wine bottle
Grgich Hills grows their Zinfandel at their vineyard in Calistoga, California, which is certified organic and Biodynamic®. Nestled in the northern tip of Napa Valley, the vineyard’s gravelly loam provides excellent drainage and the cloudless days and cool night-time temperatures are perfect for sun-loving Zinfandel. The vines are head pruned to protect the grapes from sunburn. All of these factors combine to produce concentrated, complex flavors in the wine.
The winemakers co-fermented the Zinfandel with a touch of Petite Sirah to add complexity and structure and then aged the wine in large oak casks so the flavors are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak. The medium-bodied wine features classic Zinfandel aromas and flavors, appealing fruit, and soft tannins.
