2008 Rancho Arroyo Grande Zinfandel

2008 Rancho Arroyo Grande Zinfandel

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

Evolved from uplifted ancient sea beds, the soils at Rancho Arroyo Grande abound with fossilized seashells – an attribute shared by some of the world’s great vineyards. Rich mineral content contributed by the fossil shells is the foundation for complex and interesting wines.
