Black Diamond Zinfandel

Grape Sourcing: Sierra Foothills - Amador County
Varietal Blend: Zinfandel and Primitivo
Vintage: 2012
Winemaker's Notes: Carfully selected lots were fermented seperately in small stainless steel tanks for ten days after a night harvest and four days of cold soaking which added color and depth. The wine was carefully transferred to American oak barrels while in the last stages of fermentation causing an increase in grape extraction. Finally lees were sirred once a week for eight months imparting a creamy, softer mouth feel. American Oad aged for 11 months, 1/3rd new oak and then blended to complete our 2012 Zinfandel.

Partial maloactic fermentation was encouraged until the acidity was perfectly balanced. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 10% new.
This 2013 vintage wine shows delicious aromas of pear, citrus and Fuji apple. Flavors show crisp pear and tropical fruits mingling with a hint of barrel speice.
