98ZinRhodes 2007 was a great year for Anderson Valley and especially for our vineyard. The crop size was small, but the fruit was harvested in perfect shape. It has the usual black fruit, spice and cola our vineyard is noted for. It is medium bodied, balanced and refined rather than overblown as many Pinots can be.

Retail price $28.00 per bottle.

98ZinRhodes This wine is deep in blackberry fruit and sports an intriguing veneer of briar and dusty earth spice. It's somewhat tighter, tannin-firmed structure suggests that this Zinfandel will only get better with age!

98ZinRhodes This is our first wine from this old, head trained vineyard which is located in Redwood Valley adjacent to the Rhode's Vineyard. The unique thing we have found in both his Zin and Petite Sirah is that the grapes come in at a higher acid level than anything we have tried from that appellation. This results in bright red fruit flavors and good acid structure even after malo lactic fermentation. Although the wine is nice now it will benefit from a year or two of aging as higher acid wines take a bit longer to reach their potential. This is the kind of wine the wine writers and critics keep telling us to make!

Retail price $24.00 per bottle.

98ZinRhodes In its youth this is our most dense and structured wine. With age it reveals its true nature of plum, dried cherry, coffee and spice. It is just reaching that stage now.

98ZinRhodes Dark, but not brooding, well, not yet! This wine has flavors running from raspberry through blackberry to black cherries. Racy with it's firm acidity, it also offers hints of leather and tobacco. The tannins are firm, but supple and with it's lower alcohol and low pH, it will age into an elegant and complex wine and maybe even brooding.

Retail price $24.00 per bottle.

We call these wines our end of vintage wines only because of the price, as we have not sacrificed quality.  We feel it is important to offer some wines that are a little easier on the pocketbook so that our customers can enjoy wine with any meal, from rack of lamb to the humble hamburger.  To this end we have put together some blends or varietals at special prices.
