Dry Creek Valley

85% Zinfandel
15% Petite Sirah

The 2008 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is a blend of grapes sourced from our own Winery Ranch vineyard. It is a flavorful and balanced wine that speaks to our location here in the heart of Dry Creek Valley.

As this wine opens, you will find appealing aromas of dried flowers such as violet, lavender and rose. These combine with wisps of spice: orange tea, Asian spice and brown sugar. The alluring nose draws you in, and the palate excites with flavors of freshly ripened strawberry and raspberry. Following this burst of fruit flavor are hints of pomegranate, cranberry and a dusting of dried caramel…sweet French oak that resonates on the palate. Altogether, the wine has a lively freshness in both aromas and flavors and is sure to please – either with a meal or on its own.

Paired against pork tenderloin medallions with a cherry compote glaze, or with a spicy dry rubbed tri-tip (our own Lambert Bridge Bruce’s Rub is perfect here!) on the bar-b-que grill, our 2008 Dry Creek Zinfandel will complete your dinner table or picnic spread.
