Vineyard Notes: Fruit for the Maple Vineyard zinfandel comes from two very special blocks of this benchland property in the heart of Dry Creek Valley. Tina and the late Tom Maple have dedicated their lives to producing some of Dry Creek's finest head-trained, dry-farmed zinfandel grapes. They red clay loam soils provide elegant structure and balance to this wine, while Dry Creek's warm climate ensures bright fruit flavors.
