Lot 572 is a single-vineyard, estate-grown 100% Zinfandel from a historic vineyard idyllically perched on Dry Creek’s coveted eastern side. It’s a signature release of a third-generation family winery whose Zinfandels have not only a devoted local following, but a long history of awards and mid 90s scores from all the major publications and critics. Concentrated, powerful, and a perfect representation of its terroir, this scintillating Zin embodies the best Dry Creek Valley has to offer.

The nose opens with deep black plum, blackberry compote, crushed gravel, and rooibos tea, layered with a dried herb bouquet, hickory, and a subtle lift of peach preserves around the rim. The entry is nicely concentrated yet finely balanced, its acidity lending precision to a core of plum reduction, blackberry preserves, and sweet tobacco. Dry, fresh tannins and a flicker of white pepper lead to a long, robust finish that reveals touches of hickory, barrel spice, dark fruit, and freshly split vanilla bean. Sumptuous.

"Really loved this Zin. . . deep, flavorful, and somehow made the food taste even better. But honestly, it was just as good sitting around sipping it on its own. Highly Recommend"

Nicely Bold

"Big, bold, and fruit-forward — this Zin doesn't hold back. Dry Creek Valley has a name for producing Zinfandels with a lot of personality, and this bottle has that same generous, jammy character with enough structure to keep it from feeling flabby. Good with anything off the grill. We chose some big thick ribeyes off the grill. A perfect match. A solid pick if you like your reds on the bolder side."
