2013 Hills + Benches Dry Creek Valley zinfandel  

To showcase the classic Dry Creek Valley style, we created this wine by artfully blending hillside and benchland fruit. Our estate vineyard, Lily Hill, is perched above the north end of the valley and provides dark, concentrated grapes, the result of the rugged and 'stressed' hillside vines. We sourced the benchland portion of this blend from several vineyards, including the Florence vineyard, whose grapes bring red fruit and soft, lush texture. The carignon adds vibrancy to the blend, while the petite sirah helps to finish this beautiful wine with structure.
