This is the second vintage of D-Cubed Cellars St. Helena Zinfandel. Featuring just a SKOSH of Petite Sirah and almost exclusively sourced from the Korte Ranch Vineyard in St. Helena. The Korte Ranch is a classic old head-trained and dry-farmed St. Helena Vineyard, planted around 1910 on the St. George rootstock and continues to produce wonderful Zinfandel.
Tasting notes from Duane David Dappen (D-Cubed):
"The 2006 St. Helena Zinfandel is a very intense wine with aromas of raspberries, vanilla and thyme. The wine is very rich in the mouth with flavors of raspberry, cream, vanilla and other spices. The fresh flavors linger over the long smooth finish."
Blend: 99.6% Zinfandel, 0.4% Petite Sirah
Total Production: 248 cases
Aging Potential: 5 - 7 years
