Mauritson Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2018

Mauritson Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2018

The Mauritson family has been farming in Dry Creek since 1868 and the family has a wealth of knowledge about the intricacies of growing Zinfandel. Don’t get them started about homogeneous ripening! The wine exudes mocha and blackberry notes that border on pie filling, yet it’s complimented by earthy notes of herbs, black pepper and fig. A dollop of 5% Petite Sirah gives the wine a little backbone and depth. A perfectly balanced Zinfandel.

Critical Acclaim

90 Wine Enthusiast

Big, opulent aromas of dried cherry, black plum and licorice jump from the glass. The palate is charged with intense raspberry and chocolate flavors. The finish is rich and weighty, owing to 9% Petite Sirah in the mix, demanding either a few years in the cellar or a smoked brisket. The choice is yours.
