2006 Russian River Valley Zinfandel
Russian River Valley
The long, cool 2005 harvest season produced zinfandel fruit that wonderfully suited our style at Dutton-Goldfield: fruit with great physiological ripeness at moderate sugar, and balanced acidity. The resulting wine shows the tremendous lushness and vibrancy for which zin is so prized, while maintaining an elegant balance not often seen in the varietal. This is a wine that is consistent from first sniff to the long, deep cherry finish. Throughout, it shows depth, dark enticing fruit, and soft candied overtones. In the nose, the black cherry, toffee and floral notes draw you in. In the mouth, its cherry and boysenberry fruit give a real perception of sweetness, enhanced by soft tannins and spicy wood notes. Its moderate alcohol allows the freshness and complexity of this wine to shine through, as well as helping it to be excellent for pairing with anything from pasta dishes and roasted meats to Parmesan and Manchego cheese and dark chocolate brownies.
