DESCRIPTION: Our Zinfandel vineyard, a primitivo-clone, is now over 25 years-old. As such, the vines produce more consistent fruit, regardless of the vintage. The perfect conditions in 2021 led to a very dark and intensely fruity wine, which is my kind of Dry Creek Zinfandel. This full-bodied wine is also juicy and perfectly balanced, thanks to our use of Petite Sirah and Barbera in the blend.
If you have been a fan of Unti Zin, you won't want to miss this vintage.
