Notes from the Winemaker:

I fell in love with zinfandel over 30 years ago while working at Ridge Vineyards, and especially those wines from Dry Creek vineyards that include petite sirah and carignane. Petite sirah adds depth and tannin, old vine carignane melds the flavors together with a herbal or spicy component. The mix of vineyards and varieties gives both completeness and mystery.

The age of the vines that provided fruit for this wine ranges from 10 to 100 years old, the average age works out to about 50 years. No other grape speaks as eloquently, or exuberantly to California’s wine history. Enjoy!

Food Pairing: Young zin calls out for roast or barbequed chicken, ribs or a fine charbroiled burger. With age I expect this wine to pair well more with more softly flavored pastas, stews and roasts.

What Does It Taste Like?

The best of Dry Creek Zin...blended with petite sirah and old vine carignane...complex aromas of ripe cherries, rose petal, sage and cinnamon. Full-bodied with enough tannin for aging, but rich enough to enjoy immediately...lingering aftertaste of red currant and blackberry jam.

Ratings & Reviews:

The San Francisco Examiner ('06 vintage):
"Winemaker David Noyes strongly believes in producing wines that are a tangible expression of the terrior of the vineyard. His winemaking style minimizes the handling and maximizes the individuality of each lot that pair well with food.

This 2006 Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley has a complex nose of wild berries, forest herbs, caramel toast and a touch of cured ham. Full and spicy in the mouth, the flavors expand to include blackberry preserve, candied cherry and sweet oak. It is ready to drink now and over the next 5-10 years. It pairs well with roasted chicken flavored with rosemary and garlic.

David Noyes learned a lot about Zinfandel while working at Ridge Vineyards, especially about the grapes from Dry Creek Valley. His Zinfandel is a blend of 80% Zinfandel, 13% Carignane and 7% Petite Sirah. The Petite Sirah adds depth and tannin while the old vine Carignane melds the flavors together with a herbal or spicy component." -Steve Ferree, May 13th 2009
