Somers Ranch Zinfandel is a sibling to the Heritage bottling. Somers Ranch is a younger vineyard (planted 20 years ago) so the fruit shows some of that unabashed Zinfandel character, but also maintains its sense of place and personality. This was one of the first vineyards to use the Heritage vine concept and represents one of the more unique vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley.

Winemaker Notes:

The Somers Ranch vineyard lies just a mile or so into the Dry Creek Valley. The fruit for this wine comes from adjacent hillside parcels with western facing sun exposure. A wine driven by the terroir of the vineyard, aromas of fresh baked cherry pie and cardamom spice character are evident. On the palate, blackberry fruit and subtle oak nuances are weaved together in a complex tapestry of ﬂavors. The ﬁnish is smooth and reﬁned, presenting a sleek and sophisticated ending.
