Winemaking: Grapes were hand harvested and sorted before being gently destemmed and transferred in to small open-top fermentors. The fermentations were punched down by pneumatic plunger during maceration for 9-12 days before the free run wine was drained and transferred to barrel. The wines completed malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged 15 months in 15% New French oak barrels, 85% neutral French and American oak barrels. Racked twice prior to blending and once to bottle.
Tasting Notes: This 2021 Home Ranch Zinfandel is a work of art with an aroma of sweet, dried sage, blackberry pie, and dark chocolate cherry cordial. On the palate, it presents a beautiful symphony of black cherry and graham cracker crust flavors with juicy, velvety tannins that linger exceptionally long. Its rich and powerful finish balances the bold and complex character of the wine. This well-crafted and highly enjoyable Zinfandel pairs perfectly with hearty dishes like roasted meats, stews, or grilled vegetables. Indulge in a glass or two and savor every sip of this exceptional Sonoma Zinfandel.
