<h1>2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley -- Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Shopping Cart</h1> <b>$28.00</b> -- <i>2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley</i> <p> <img src="https://store.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/bottle-zinfandel1.jpg" align="right" alt="2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley" name="2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley" border="0" hspace="10" /> Deep purple in color with rich layers of fruit complexity, Ferrari-Carano&#8217;s Zinfandel boasts aromas of boysenberry and blackberry pie with hints of vanilla cream and cinnamon spice. Concentrated fruit continues on the palate with juicy blackberry and creamy notes extending well into the lingering finish highlighted by smooth, silky tannins. <br /><br /><p><b><i>Vintage Notes</i></b><br /><br />From our Estate Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, the Zinfandel grapes are dry farmed in a complex, riverside clay loam soil that is rocky and deep, adding impressive depth and concentration of flavor intensity to the wine. A mild late spring and summer ensured that the mature vines had a healthy canopy for the grapes, which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the grape clusters. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach full maturity in both flavor and structure. Harvest was completed mid-October. <br /></p> <p><b><i>Winemakers Notes</i></b><br /><br />This wine is composed of primarily Zinfandel, blended with small amounts of Petite Sirah and Carignane. Upon entering the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were destemmed, hand sorted and then whole berries were fermented in tank before pressing. Individual lots were moved to barrels for malolactic fermentation, then blended and barrel aged in American and French oak for 18 months.<br /><br /></p> <p><b><i>Appellation:</i></b> Dry Creek Valley<br /><br /><b><i>Blend:</i></b> 83% Zinfandel, 5% Carignane, 12% Petit Sirah <br /><br /><b><i>Cooperage:</i></b> 35% new French and American Oak, 65% older French Oak <br /><br /><b><i>Release Day:</i></b> October 2008 <br /><br /><img height="65" src="https://www.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/p_glass-red.jpg" width="37" /><b><i>Rhonda's Recipe and Pairing Notes</i></b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/pork-chop-spinach-pine-nuts-mozzerella.aspx" target="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/pork-chop-spinach-pine-nuts-mozzerella.aspx">Pork Chop Stuffed with Spinach, Pine Nuts and Mozzarella</a><br /><br />Our 2006 Ferrari-Carano Zinfandel is a food-friendly wine that pairs perfectly with meat dishes such as slow roasted pork, grilled lamb chops, duck, a beef sirloin burger, chili, pizzas and spicy sausage.
