A full-bodied Zinfandel from Wente Vineyards’ Beyer Ranch estate in California's Central Coast. The 2021 vintage is sourced from the Ruby Hill, Raboli, and Smith vineyard blocks in Livermore Valley, each with its own microclimate, which together contribute to the wine’s depth and balance.
Tasting Notes:
Classically fruity, with aromas of plum complemented by hints of raspberry and blueberry. The palate is well-balanced, with good acidity and underlying toasty oak supporting the rich fruit character.
Winemaking:
Each vineyard block was vinified separately and aged for eight months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The warm days and cool nights of Livermore Valley help the grapes develop richness while retaining freshness, and the well-drained soils contribute to the wine’s structure.
Food Pairing:
Pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hearty stews.
ABV: 14.5%
