2015 Florence Vineyard zinfandel 

"Loads of very deep and juicy, sweet berry fruit. There is nothing delicate about it, but neither does it run to the brink of late-havest excess and it is sure to win fans among those who revel in intensely flavorful Zinfandels that, while showy now, will evolve favorably for a half-dozen years. - 90 points"

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, Steve Eliot

Variety: 93% zinfandel, 7% petite sirah

Appellation: Dry Creek Valley

Sensory Notes: The 2015 Florence exhibits wonderful floral aromatics and notes of sweet raspberry and black cherry. In the mouth it showcases luscious flavors of dried fig, fresh blackberries, anise, and a hint of bright cranberries. The texture is wonderfully supple with soft, gentle tannins providing an amazingly balanced wine.

Vineyard Notes: Located a quarter mile from Lily Hill, the Florence Vineyard is influenced by the bordering Pena Creek, giving the soil a well-drained, rocky quality unique to this site. The vines were cultivated from cuttings of the St. Peter's Church clone taken from Jack Florence's famouse Rockpile Ranch. These vines produce extremely small berries that deliver intense flavors. 

Cellar Recommendation: Lovely now and should be enjoyed through 2020, but may continue to delevop through 2025.
