Deep purple in color with rich layers of fruit complexity, Ferrari-Carano’s Zinfandel boasts aromas of boysenberry and blueberry pie with hints of vanilla and baking spices. Concentrated fruit continues on the palate with juicy, sweet wild berries that linger well into a finish that is 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 wet winter and spring set vine maturity back a few weeks from a typical year, followed by a very warm July and a temperate August and September that gave way to early rains in October. A late warming trend in October dried the vines out and perfectly concentrated the berries prior to harvest later in the month.
<br /></p>
<p><b><i>Winemakers Notes</i></b><br /><br />This wine is primarily composed of Zinfandel, blended with small amounts of Petite Sirah and Carignane. Upon entering the winery, the hand-harvested grapes are destemmed, hand sorted and then whole berries are fermented in tank before pressing. Individual lots are moved to barrels, then blended and barrel aged in American and French oak for 16 months prior to bottling, and aged another five months prior to release. <br /><br /></p>
<p><b><i>Appellation:</i></b> Dry Creek Valley<br /><br /><b><i>Blend:</i></b> 88% Zinfandel, 6% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane
<br /><br /><b><i>Cooperage:</i></b> 33% new French and

<br /><br /><b><i>Release Day:</i></b> October 2009 <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 2007 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. Cheeses, such gruyere, extra sharp cheddar or Roquefort, as well as decadent chocolate desserts, are delicious with our Zinfandel.</p>
