Zin Phomaniac
Zin-Phomaniac. Created by and for Zinfandel lovers who crave the arousing aromas, warm embrace and climactic finish of a fleshy, voluptuously-styled Zinfandel. Sourced from California’s best Zinfandel growing regions. Always from old vine Zinfandel. One sip and you know you’ll never get enough… Our Reserve Zin-phomaniac draws on the county’s best appellations for Zinfandel, including Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Sonoma Valley and Russian River Valley. Although each of these regions produces Zinfandel grapes with unique characteristics, they share the warm days and cool nights associated with the marine influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay. However, a variety of soils and distinct microclimates provide our winemaker with a varied palette from which to blend our Reserve, resulting in a complex, full-throttle, lavishly-spiced wine with an abundance of bold, briary fruit.
Harvested in the cool, early morning to preserve freshness and acidity, our Zinfandel grapes were brought quickly to the winery where they were crushed and placed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Once dry, the wines were pressed off the grape skins and placed in small new and seasoned French oak barrels for a period of nine months, imparting subtle notes of brown spice and cedar to the finished wine.
