2003 John Tyler Zinfandel

Tasting Notes:
Our Zinfandel, like our Pinot Noir brings forth the best characteristics of this variety. Our concentrated winemaking style coupled with the cooler climate in the Russian River Valley appellation produces a Zinfandel rich in color, full and silky in texture with bright acid and deep fruit. We provide the fruit with ample hang time on the vine to ncourage physiological maturity. Our program is designed to allow for 2
years of barrel aging as well as 1 year in the bottle prior to release.
