2008 Storybook Mountain "Eastern Exposures" Napa Valley Zinfandel
One 750ml bottle
This special cuvée is presented to show just how elegant, fragrant and balanced Napa hillside Zinfandels can be. It is a step beyond vineyard designation, and represents style as much as place. Most of the grapes come from the heart of Storybook’s east facing vineyards – the balance and finesse of which give the wine its name.
The selection criteria emphasize aroma, mid-palate and finish. The wine expresses berries with hints of flowers, minerals and spice in the aroma, is rich and multi-layered on the broad mid-palate, and leaves an intense, clean and lingering impression on the finish. A touch of Viognier is added to enhance the intriguingly exotic and sensual quality of this special wine.
