2023 Zinfandel, Stratification, Dry Creek Valley

$65.00/750mlAlcohol: 15.8%

The 2023 TADDEI Stratification is a representation of three different vineyards, from the different elevations and geological zones within the Dry Creek Valley. From the eastern ridgetop 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 2023 Stratification is fruity with gobs of Blueberry and Blackberry and is a complete berry fruit bomb, intense aromas of raspberry with underlying notes of Tayberry and pomegranate. The wine is balanced from beginning to end with spice notes all the way through to the finish. Approachable, smooth, with a strong berry thread from front to back and delicious with each taste. Food pairing suggestions: Aged cheddar, smoked Gouda, Manchego and tangy goat cheese This Zinfandel will pair exceptionally well with BBQ ribs and Grilled meats such as Lamb, Pork Chops and Sausages.
