The Crimson Hill Vineyard, in the Red Hills District of Lake County, is at 2000 feet elevation and overlooks the southern end of Clear Lake. The seven acre vineyard is planted in well-drained, sloped, crimson red, volcanic soil that provides the perfect site for growing great red wines. The climate is ideal for mid- to late-season reds. The vineyard receives daily full sun with warm temperatures in the spring and summer that are tempered by daily afternoon mistrals. This fruity Zinfandel exhibits fresh raspberry fruit with a touch of orange zest and white pepper. The flavors are of ripe berry fruit compote, and the texture is delightfully fresh and slightly off-dry, which balances the alcohol and fruit flavors. Total Production: 749 cases
