2007 Snow Zinfandel
This wine is full of traditional zinfandel characteristics. Various aromas and flavor of strawberries and raspberries that match the cherry red color followed by hints of light vanilla and spice. A very well balanced wine. Unfiltered

The fruit was picked in three different lots to ensure
that the fruit was balanced in all aspects of ripening. All
lots were, pre and post sorted prior to destemming. The wine was hand punched 3-4 times a day to ensure maximum contact with the grape skins. The must was gently basket pressed for 12 hours with the wine going straight into barrels. The barrels were racked twice during its 18 months of barrel aging in American Oak. |
