Named "Most Likely To Succeed" according to Tasting Panel magazine's Class of 2010 Most Outstanding Wine & Spirits of the Year.
The intention with the 2007 DF Zinfandel was to make a classic version of this variety. It was hand harvested, fermented 10 days on the skins and pressed to barrel while still fermenting to retain as much Zinfandel fruit character as possible.
91/91 pts - “You'll find an intense nose of berries, earth and black peppercorns. Medium bodied and impeccably balanced…” - Randy Buckner, WineLoversPage.com
Received the Chairman's Award (unanimous gold) and Best of Class at the 2012 Riverside International Wine Competition!- "Bright ruby color, indicating aging potential. Complex, dense black fruit of all sorts: blueberry, blackberry, plum, cassis and kalamata olive, with notes of black pepper and cedar. A miracle of structure and balance in the mouth, with rich, sweet, explosive black currant, velvet tannins and remarkable length." -Clark Smith
