2017 Belle Canyon Zinfandel

Appellation: Dry Creek Valley

Vineyard Notes: This wine comes from a vineyard on the eastern edge of Dry Creek Valley. Planted in the early 90s, the site experiences intense daytime summer heat, but due to its elevation, it cools down rapidly at night, preserving acid and freshness in the fruit. A great deal of handwork is performed to achieve the proper ripeness at harvest. Clusters are thinned up to five times before harvest to allow the remaining fruit to fully ripen. 

Cellar Recommendations: Enjoy this wine through 2026.
