We are pleased to announce that local yokel Scott Zanon has released his new vintage of Zinfandel, and we are the first in the city to have it in stock.
The Zinfandel vineyards are located on the hillsides in California's scenic Dry Creek Valley. This region has long been considered a mecca for great Zin, and the 2012 vintage was no exception. Warm weather and mild temperatures brought the grapes to full maturity, and yields and fruit quality were outstanding. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine was aged in American oak barrels for 11 months.
As with the inaugural vintage, this is classic Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel exudes ripe cherry and raspberry notes with a touch of pepper. A long elegant finish is framed by a kiss of vanilla oak. The blend is 92% Zinfandel, 6% Petite Sirah, and 2% Merlot.
To help kick off this new vintage release, Scott will be here pouring his 2012 Zanon Zinfandel this Saturday, February 28 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. in our wine department!
