Wine Enthusiast, Virginie Boone
With layers of wild game, mushroom and powerfully built tannin, this is a seriously ripe and rich wine. It finds salvation in a crisp, crunchy undercurrent of high-toned red fruit that helps to brighten and lighten the palate before finishing in oaky spice.

Plum

With a vibrant garnet color, a spectrum of flavors evolves in the glass. Starting with aromas of sun-warmed, brambly blackberries—the nose soon opens to a spicy black peppercorn, floral coriander seed, and savory thyme. Dark plum flavors lead into a fresh, rich texture on the palate that finishes with a balanced lift of acidity.

Dry Creek Valley AVA - Rudy's Vineyard

Tucked along the curve of the Dry Creek Valley lies Rudy's Vineyard. The land is dry farmed, the old vine head-trained, and the soil well drained. Its fruit makes a rich, round Zinfandel - best enjoyed with a view.

Vintage NotesFollowing a series of warm, early harvests, this year’s growing season returned to a slower rhythm, allowing grapes to ripen gently with deep flavors. Our growers spent the summer and fall manicuring the vine canopies to provide the grapes enough shade from the sun while also preparing adequate airflow to deter mold. When Mother Nature did throw a couple of unpredictable systems at us, we were able to weather the storms and harvest exceptional fruit!
