2021 Zinfandel, Ionnatti Vineyard
On the nose, the wine explodes with aromatics of blueberries, raspberries, and cassis, transitioning seamlessly into a silky, full bodied and elegant wine. In the glass, it possesses distinct varietal character of brambly blackberry flavors seasoned with pungent aromas of cooking spices in this intensely fruit driven wine. Its power and concentration provide a lushness and roundly fruity approach that doesn&#39;t hinder its lingering, textured complexity. Driven by distinct berry notes and supported by a perfectly balanced acidity and delicious notes of stone fruit and spice. This zinfandel has a long, pleasing finish.

Full bodied and full throttled, this zin has a nose bursting with dark cherry and boysenberry.  It is a fruit bomb, just what you would expect from a great valley floor Dry Creek Zin.  The palate is loaded with chocolate, raspberry and plum with a hit of licorice right around the mid palate. The zin rounds out the finish with mocha and leather, which sticks around and makes the wine even more interesting.

As the word implies, the 2021 TADDEI Stratification is a representation of three different vineyards, from the different elevations and geological zones within the Dry Creek Valley.  From the eastern ridge-top is the Ionnatti Vineyard with boomer loam soil, the Colline Vineyard resting on the bench with manzanita loam and finally the valley floor Integrity Vineyard with yolo loam.  Three distinctly different vineyards, each providing its unique representation of the Dry Creek experience.  On the nose the wine is quite floral and fruity expressing violet, intense aromas of raspberry with underlying notes of Tayberry and pomegranate. The wine is consistent from beginning to end with pure berry notes all the way through to the finish. Supple, smooth, with a strong berry thread from front to back and delicious with each taste.
