2020 Dry Creek Heritage Zinfandel
#03-2023
The Dry Creek Vineyard has always been a favorite choice for good wine, and also a great place to visit, if you are in the area. This Heritage Zinfandel is sourced from old vines averaging 100 years old. The grapes are mostly Zinfandel with a generous smattering of Petite Surah. It reminds me of my childhood in Napa, when we ate at an Italian steak house which served an Italian favorite Californian wine made from Zinfandel grapes brought over by Italian immigrants in the old days.
The Dry Creek Heritage Zin has classic Zinfandel flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum with a dry and silky finish, which begs for another sip. The alcohol level is high, but not hot, but rather pleasing at 14.8% and Norm's score is 91.
Great with a medium rare steak from the grill (our way), it can be enjoyed with a variety of foods including most Italian pasta dishes, and would be fantastic with Bouillabaisse!
score: 91
price : $19 - $24
